3Dmark99 MAX in XP : i always get "You need directx 6.1 or newer", but i have 9.0a, is it possible to run?

this may be a bit off-topic, but storms are rolling through causing power surges....

During the install it said something about having DX 6.1 or newer, so it was going to continue. When I ran it, I got the same error as you. I had just installed DX 9.0b today.

During 3DMark99MAXInstall, it says "Detected DirectX 6.1 or newer, moving on"
And the storms are worse.

3dMark 99 MAX does not work in XP. Full stop. Unless mad onion, or futuremark or whatever the fook they are calling themselves today decide to release a patch...

They had to release a patch for 3dmark 2001 to get it to work on directx 9.0/9.0a and since that version is so old I doubt they are going to release a patch for it. Maybe someone has made their own patch for it.
