Hi,
I have a 2month old DigitalStorm Twister Ultra with quad core, sli 8800gtx
and vista. And the same problem as Lisa.
WEI is always 1 based on graphics. Hardware is always new in WEI. Refresh
and Update always fail to complete because "directx version less than 8.0
detected".
DxDiag=OK with version 10. Device Manager lists no problems. Fear Demo runs
fine with max bells and whistles--on 1680x1050 lcd.
Lisa is on to something!
I'd like my accurate index too!
