DirectX

Hi

Whenever I try and install some software, it causes my computer to become sluggish, the mouse stops being smooth and upon restart it takes minutes to get into windows.

I think I've narrowed down the software causing it to be software which is bundled with DX9. It's happened with a couple of games and CS3.

Thanks.

Ok, I'll add some common sense for you

Directx which is bundled with software.

Yeah, it's an oldish card. 6600GT.

It was fine on my last computer, I've since rebuilt it with a Quad and had these problems.

They happen after installing some programs (mainly games) and doing windows updates.


It's solved by rolling back and restoring from a previous point.
