/ <= me after reading all this... LOL Windows server 2003 is the best OS ever... it is fast and its sabil... and ALL progams, drivers and games run on it (or ofcuz the XP changeing progams does not work but why the he|| use em). to get directx"all vs." go to = http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en and remember or learn it now. srv 2K3 is made from NT so if you need a driver try the Xp vs. if it dont work try the driver for Windows NT if you want to run windows server 2003. use the guide to convert it to a workstation =) but read it 2 or more times befro doing it and skip the stuff you think that arnt usefull and you maybe are to go Download TweakNT if you want to i know that MSFN dont MAY show it a a link any more but it is to find on google and the TweakUI read the guide to make it wiew abel in control panel adn download the new vs. it's a good tool if you dont want to use the NT one
