DirectX 8.1
The Image Capture System software requires that version 8.1 or later of DirectX is installed on
the computer. Windows 2000 shipped with DirectX 7.0a and Windows XP shipped with DirectX
8.1. Perform the following steps to identify the installed version of DirectX:
1. From the task bar click "Start" then click the "Run" option.
2. Type "dxdiag" then click the "OK" button. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool is loaded. On the
"System" (default) tab, toward the bottom of the "System Information" section, is an item
named "DirectX Version". Verify the value for this item is "DirectX 8.1" or later.
If the version of DirectX is earlier than 8.1, then perform the following steps to install DirectX 8.1
on the computer.
1. Load the Image Capture System CD into an available CD-ROM drive. If the installation
program initiates, click the "Cancel" button to shut it down.
2. From the task bar click "Start" and then click the "Run" option.
3. Using the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive, assuming it is D:, type "D:\DirectX 8.1\Win2000
Runtime\DX81NTeng.exe" then click the "OK" button. This will launch the DirectX 8.1
installation program.
4. Click the "Yes" button to continue with the installation then click the "Yes" button to accept
the license agreement.
5. When the installation process is complete, click "OK" to restart the computer.
