I offer this up again to you all seeing as it has caused so much controversy. Genuine! I am using it. Works fine. Get this now before Microsoft charges you for this.

It's my understanding that DX10 is not available for XP because it relies on the re-architected graphics sub-system available only on Vista.
That being said, there are many people trying to port. Basically, installing DX10 is a matter of grabbing the extra dll files, dropping them onto an XP box, and registering them (simplified version).
THAT being said, there have been a lot of problems reported... doesn't work for all games, etc. I believe there is a version that relies on Alky for XP (ports Vista apps to XP), but last I heard it was still in Alpha. Link:

I have no idea if Night's version is legit or some kind of trojan, but best case scenario, I'd bet it's got some issues.
Night, can you post more info about this? How did you install, how do you know it's working, what differences do you see, all that?
Also, why did you post this three times to PB... makes it look pretty shady, but you seem to have some legit releases, don't seem like the type to upload trojans or whatnot... more info? Thanks!

sorry, dx10 is available on XP if its hacked. The only thing limiting DX10 to vista was a feature that was dropped from being used. I forgot what it was, but aside from that it all can run on xp with the proper support. Microsoft could release DX10 for Xp tomorrow if they wanted to.

Of course they could, this is just another one of M.S.'s restrictive practises, (or is it practices), which persuade us to use sites like TPB.

A good idea is to have an old drive with a copy of XP installed to try out all these mods etc, for God's sake don't try 'em on your main rig.
