I downloaded, clicked setup, accept terms, and it says initializing, but then it says could not download, check network/try later. Can someone check if this happens to them?
 
Um. Where are you downloading from?

And you do have Vista, right? Vista comes with DX10...so....unless you are trying to repair a damaged rtl, I'm not sure why you need to "install" it.
 
I have vista bizniz, installed the other day and it hasnt installed sp1 yet. Reason I thought I didnt have it was hl2:ep2 in video settings says:

hardware: DirectX 9+
software: DirectX 9
 
LOL.

Your fine man dont worry about it. You have DX10.

Source doesn't yet run anything from the DX10 API, so it has no interest in DX10, Thus it saying "software DX9" means that its running at its fullest capacity.

The source engine runs DX 9 normally, but it has a DX8 and DX7 compatibility mode for those on (really) old hardware. It really is a pretty fantastic engine.

They actually keep tabs on who's still running what, this survey is in need of a refresh, but its still pretty cool. Check out the results here.

Click to expand...

Half Life 2 is a DirectX 9 game, doesn't have code for DirectX 10, that's why.
 
I appreciate it guys, now I feel smarter! (but only because I feel dumb about not knowing already) :p
