About half a year ago I purchased a book on DirectX 8 game programming. It came with a CD containing the DX8 SDK, which is over 130 megs, which keeps me from downloading on my 56k modem that connects at 20k on a good day.
I tried to install it, but it kept crashing my computer. I thought it was a faulty disk, so I took it back for a refund and had them order me a new one. I got the new one and had the same problems. I installed it on my dad’s computer and it went fine except the uninstall application didn’t install. I took it off his and tried putting it back on mine to no avail.
I was going to wait until I built my new system to try it again, but I’m getting impatient, as I currently have no income and what I have stored away has to get me through the winter. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going wrong?
Only got one line and I have to keep the phone lines open. I’m waiting callbacks for jobs, possible job offers, my brother and friends call the moment they become aware of a job opening (or shortly after if they get overwhelmed on their job) and I have to keep the lines open during my parents’ travel times, so I can’t afford to tie up the lines for almost two days.
Anyway, I have fixed the problem. My brother was here today and he copied the DX8 SDK folder to my desktop and I installed it from there. Now if I could find out how to model organic models like I tried to for the past five years…
