well i was going from all the doomsayers in the make blitz open source saying that gfx drivers dropping dx7
Best to ignore those posts as they are misinformed and do not understand how DX works under Vista. GFX drivers no longer supporting DX7 (if it happens (too many XP and older users for that to happen anytime soon especially when the multi-million dollar casual gaming market is literally built on DX7)) has no bearing on Vista. On Vista the DX7 support is provided by Microsoft not the graphics card drivers. On Vista, DX7 API calls are translated at runtime to DX9 API calls, therefore your graphics card drivers only need to support DX 9 & DX 10 for your old DX stuff to work under Vista.
