DirectX8.1 - How to install one that works!

When I connect, initially my toolbar is down, but after a short while it disappears.  He was soon followed by an error message that says "cannot display sceensaver.  Please make sure you have DirectX8.1 or higher installed on your computer.  Then I'm gone the Microsoft website in the download section and found ' DirectX8.1 Runtime for Windows 2000 '.  I tried to download it and got an error message indicating that a problem has occurred.  Then, I realized that I was using Windows 2007.  Does anyone kno if there is a DirectX8.1 for Windows 2007?

Hello Pudding,

Take a look at this link for a more recent version of Directx.

Hope this helps

Firefox itself does not scan files to see if they contain viruses/malware. You still need a form any anti-virus and anti-malware protection. You must also use a firewall.

    Does anyone know of a VI or how to write one that will stop the computers clock be turned off if an application is run.

    This isn't something that you can from LabVIEW, because this is an operating system operation, and it will depend on the operating system you are using. Under Windows, you can use Group Policy to control this. Please Google on "prevent changing the date and time of windows."

    Also, please try to refrain from stuffing your message in its entirety in the block of material. Keep short, but descriptive enough topic so we can understand what you're asking basically. Thank you.

I deleted it and now I would like to know how to install the old version of Firefox - or any version that works with my system. Thank you!

    Please change the download page for other people do not have this problem. He said that the new version works with Mac OS 10.4 and more - I checked before downloading. I'm happy, there is a solution, but the download page does not. Don't use other people waste their time like I did.
    When you download 3.6.24 new version downloads right thereafter. I closed it, but this looks like a glitch.
    Thanks again for your help and to continue to support the old version. Firefox is a great browser.

  • One that works?

    Hello!

    I read several pages online (also these pages adobe itself) on After Effects and Cinema 4 d, which is integrated and adobe is no longer made any additional support for her. I've never used before AE but I want to learn now, and I'll work with it in my future studies.

    I will buy a new computer very soon but I am so confused about what graphics card that supports of After Effects. I read the list of officially supported cards, but the list is very short. I'm not interested in Quadro, they are too expensive.

    What confuses me, in particular, is that the ray-traced rendering engine is phased out in favour of Cinema 4 d. I am interested in this feature of ray-traced rendering engine, but I don't know how cinema 4 d requires GPU, even if it is integrated into AE: so my question is, what kind of graphics card works with AE and its Cinema 4 d?

    Graphics cards I've been watching what I buy:

    - Gtx 750ti (I read the debates that it is not supported by EI, but some people say that they can use it)

    - Gtx 960 (I read the debates that it is not supported by EI, but some people say that they can use it)

    - 970 Gtx (the same as above)

    - 760 Gtx (but he says AE itself? It doesn't support of ray-tracing)

    - Gtx 670 (it seems that it works as well in ray-tracing program AE itself but is a good card?)

    It is not all graphics cards on the list of https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/system-requirements.html that I can buy because some of them are overwhelmed and cannot therefore be purchased more (as the gtx 570 I can't find it in the online stores)...

    The card is perhaps not too expensive to buy... Max of $250. Prices are higher in Europe than in the USA... And it may be a slow card...

    My future computer and its hardware (it will not be changed because I buy the computer in a store, but I am able to choose the graphics card):

    * i7-4790

    or

    * Xeon E3-1245 v3 (which has integrated intel hd P4600)

    * 16 GB of RAM

    * motherboard z97 - ar.

    I want to use PDigital.Anarchy.backdrop.Designer.v1.1.for.adobe.p (several layers!), After Effects, Final cut, Flash, Illustrator, and Indesign. CS6.

    I just need to know what type of graphics card it takes now when Adobe change the function plotted to the RADIUS and integrates Cinema 4 d instead (so I do not buy a card that I regret the lack of support of EI)?

    I hope you help me please.

    Cinema 4 d does not have any specific hardware supported in its rendering engine. It is entirely CPU based, so it is totally irrelevant. All he needs is to a normal map reasonably cope with its OpenGL Windows and it's something similarly maps from the plateau to budget 80 dollars.

  • Since the upgrade to WIndows 10, my update to Thunderbird is broken. Would it not possible to download one that works with 10?

    Everything else seems to work very well, but I'm stuck in my old version (31.7.0) because the updater won't load.

    There is no error message or another problem, I can not get the update at startup - not not using "Restart to update" and not find the "updater" application in the Mozilla Thunderbird folder and trying to start it manually.

    I'm tempted to simply continue to use it, but I don't know that I'll need a security update later.
    ... Who and custody of Thunderbird flashing me messages that new updates are available, which disappear quickly as they try to call the updater.

    I have not so coincidentally suggest it if that was the case. Setting and the program are completely separate. Something you want to keep in mind if you ever get rid of your computer.

    It was fine until recently, my wife had to do something for a Canon printer software but... who knows.

    The details of the issue > more system next to your message Details does not list the plugin Flash player ('Shockwave Flash'), which is probably the most commonly used plugin on the web. They might be blocked as being very obsolete.

    You can get the version 18.0.0.232 on this page:

    https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    In the first table, find the row corresponding to "browser plugin", and you can use either the EXE or the MSI installer.

    After you run the installer, open the Firefox Add-ons page using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, look for 'Shockwave Flash', particularly downwards, and if necessary, change "never activate always be 'activate' to"Ask to activate".

    If you are unable to activate Flash, click on the 'More' link for the plugin verify that it has detected the updated version. If this isn't the case, you may need to exit Firefox and start it again.

    Success?
