What exactly is this? Any negative effects?

I would love to see this thing work..
But if I install these files, might it mess up my DX9 etc.?

Pretty pointless to install right now - as there are no DX10/Shader Model 4.0 effects in any currently available games.

However it's perfectly safe to try out. Not that you can really try it out, if you see what I mean.

wht u said mr hosser
to install or not to install

will anybody tell me wht are the features and negative effect of this
anybody insalled it????

This is pointless
theres no games that use DX10
and only one Vcard that will use it but the driver its out for that yet so you would be wasting your time DL this

As Hosser_co_uk said there are no games out yet which utilise DX10, BUT, you can still test it out with the DX10 SDK which include samples that users can test out with their DX10 compatible gfx cards.

... if you have one. If not, then DON'T INSTALL!

The purpose of this is pointless on a warez site but it might, and I stress MIGHT, attract attention of experienced testers and people that want to support the project.

What it is?... It's a non-MS implementation of DirectX 10 standards... something like Wine on Linux but for Windows XP.

A Pre-Alpha stage is just and idea of the idea of DirectX 10 libraries... an Alpha would be the main idea and from then on the libs will grow and hopefully get mature enough to use.

...and Shadrow comes out soon...[/quote]  I mean Shadowrun

It Does not Work whith Latest DX SDK DX10 samples!
(XP SP2,Radeon x1600 pro)

you don't even have a Dx10 capable card

I did try unzipped DirectX 9.0c April 2007 then copy this DirectX 10 Compatibility Libraries Pre-Alpha files and install it.
Can install it without any problem...
And also copy DirectX 10 Compatibility Libraries Pre-Alpha files to C:\windows\system32
Nothing happen, everything look ok.
I only use GeForce 7600GT, can play Test Drive Unlimited, no problem....

ok.......

From what i've heard, Dx10 isnt supposed to come out for anything BUT Vista. And yes you could still use it, even though there isnt any games out right now to run it on. It is supposed to speed up your process on games a tiny bit, with regular Dx9 outfits. If you dont have a Geforce 8800, dont bother with this. 4-26-07

Sorry I forget to tell.
I also use Windows XP with services Pack 2

this is hacked software directx 10 and you can test that on microsoft sdk sample on directx 10 on windows xp ... all shader 4 effect process on cpu and you need a good cpu to rund perfectly that samples...

With this you can run DX 10 applications in win XP with DX 10 graphics card and DX 9 Graphics card (emulate of curse)

It Does not Work with Latest DX9 SDK, DX10 samples!
(XP SP2,Radeon x1600 pro)
I don't understand-Why? (

no games for this!maybe some other time....thnx by the way.........

is it work with XP sp2?

that means that well have an aero theme for xp ? possibly

No... unfortunately... because of legal issues and because MS wants this to be a Vista only feature.

But in time Vistas' security will be broken and we'll all gonna enjoy it... vLited or not!

do you guys even know what this is or you just wanna have the best on ya computer even know you dont need it !!!!!

The Best way to get DX10 on Your PC is to install Windows Vista. I've installed Home Premium resenly, it's quaiet enough to stay awaiting for HALO2. Also i using Hackintosh, and i'm happy! For the rest, wish all of You GOOD LUCK! But still, even Vista is buggy for now, first build of it is better than XP first build was...
Don't pay attantion at my grammar, i'm Russian and studing English myself.

Link down?

Only DX10 capable graphics card users can use it for good. But DX10 PC Games aren't works with Win XP. So upgrade or install Win Vista for DX10 games. Thank you!

If any 1 wish to use this, pls buy DX10 capable video card, logon to http://www.pcworld.com/

just a stupid leak package
