What is DirectX and should I download it?
Watching a webcam that has advanced features if I have DirectX. When I go to Microsoft to download, there is little a warning that says: it cannot be uninstalled. I don't know what it is! Is it safe to download it on a Vista Home Premium 64 bit system? I have IE 8.0, if that helps. Thank you!!! (pls talk to me like I'm a child of 5 years!)
Hi ditnc
DirectX 10 features advanced 3D graphic rendering capabilities and helps improve your computer's performance in the high-end 3D applications and games.
Offering a standard 3D development platform for Windows PC, it also provides software developers access to powerful hardware features without having to write hardware-specific code. For players and video fans, that translates into reliable, best performing graphics when you play games on your PC.
Download the latest version of DirectX here.

"Yahoo! optimized Firefox" - what is it and should I install?
I got this popup: Attention: Please upgrade to the latest browser from Yahoo! optimized to ensure the best Yahoo! experience.
Not interested in getting all yahoo search features such as additional bar, tab, etc unless they are really useful. Don't want to go through the hassle of the lead if it's useless.
Thank you
This has happened
Just once or twice
Op: Yep, he installed not only the crapbar of Yahoo, it has also changed the search engine by default to Yacrap and it has also changed the search box quick Navigation of Firefox for Yacrap bar. An hour later I deleted it and changed back to Google which required to go in everything: config and change everything he (scary for me). Not easy to find answers on how to uninstall all the changes he made.

2. If so, what happens when you play the files? They do not play, or you receive an error message or a code?
3. What is the brand and model of your tab Windows 8?Thank you for details on the issue.
File (WAV) Audio Waveform format is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) binary stream format method for storing data in "chunks", and thus is also close to the 8SVX and used the format AIFF on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively.
