Agree 100%.

People can download DirectX 9.

B. MA3 requires a "compatible Direct3D Device". Jim has available a test for that condition that appears to be diagnostic. The installer should, in my opinion, do the following:

1. CHECK to see if there is a compatible Direct3D Device using Jim's code.

2. If the test fails, tell the user and ask if installation should proceed - clearly warning that MA3 probably won't run until that situation is corrected.

There's already a separate topic for that and you got your response in that thread.
