I found the solution- I used DirectX Eradicator 1.09 Beta 2 to uninstall
DX9, it asked for
original WinXP CD to replace it with DX8.1, then rebooted fine. Then I
installed DX9c.
Now I can run 3Dmark05! Wow! Beautiful to view but choked my P4 3ghz &
Radeon 9800Pro
to a near slideshow in some places! If you wanna know the score, it's
2,342.
