DirectX is very necessary I know that, but why is it so necessary. What itdoes, what are its requirements. And most importantly, why is it used in Nero-7?

Well, my question was that why is it needed in Nero? I don't have Nero Vision, Showtime or any of that rubbish. And, I can't find the place to uninstall DX8.0

Why are you hell bent on removing directX? :???:
It is a crucial component of your PC's UI, without which, well, you try if you must :rolleyes:
Regarding GTA, Spiderman, etc,
They are running on your PC (but not at optimum I guess) as you have DirectX 8.0 installed.
Check out this link for a detailed explanation of DirectX (it's old, but the fundas are the same)

well, see tats wat i told in my earlier post (tat itsa must to hv DX onto ur system and its installed by default by the OS) also .net framework apart from many other s/ws..

AND brother, having an older version of DX does not mean u DO NOT hv DX.. :) all the games WILL play on ur PC coz they can atleast detect a DX be it an older version too.. :)

Cheers n e-peace...

Lekin, jab usski min. requirement DX 9.0 hai, toh fir woh DX 8 par kyun chalta hai?

Dude, can you run the game with all effects on and without any lag?
This is not possible unless you update DirectX. (and your RAM, gfx card, etc..but thats a separate story)
The game is running on your PC (for now) as you atleast have 8.0 installed.
