DirectDraw version ? (not that i would know what to do with this info, but just for the archives)
There should be a DirectX icon in the Windows Control Panel. At least there used to be. Then if it's not immediately obvious what the version is, look under help-About. Sorry I'm not booting Win right now so I can't take a look. If it's not there, System Properties is probably a good place to look.
sorry, there is no control panel for directx - at least on the computer i use. since i could not find infos about the version i installed directx 9.0b from micro$ website. does not change a thing: pd crashes as soon as i want to create a [pix_video]
:(
