Talk:DirectX

= DirectX from the users perspective = I think this book is intended for the DirectX programmer, right? Is there any book for the DirectX user, namely, what we have to do in order to make DirectX work? Albmont (talk) 20:32, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * DirectX already runs simply by launching a multimedia application, and isn't run directly by the user. If the user has trouble with DirectX, it's a case of troubleshooting based on error message or by re-running the installer (or may have an extremely old video card that doesn't support DirectX technologies.) --Sigma 7 (talk) 20:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * DirectX runtime is provided by the apps using it, as well as graphic cards drivers. Check/update those if you have problems. --Kissaki (discuss • contribs) 04:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

= I disagree on the Acquirement = > First and foremost - you must have the DirectX libraries installed. These may be distributed with compilers, or, if you use one, the IDE (basic DirectX functionality is generally provided with Windows IDEs). I have to disagree. I have not seen compilers distributing the DirectX libraries with them. And I disagree on the “generally” with IDEs as well. I don’t know an IDE which also provides the DirectX SDK. --Kissaki (discuss • contribs) 04:23, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
