DirectX®

Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars™ requires you to have Microsoft® DirectX® on your computer. Check http://www.Microsoft.com/ for more details

Q. What is DirectX® and why do I need it?

A. DirectX® is a set of sound, video, input and network functions developed by Microsoft®.  Enemy Territory: Quake Wars™ utilizes the functions that are included with DirectX®.

Q. I already have other Windows® XP\Vista games installed on my computer. Will the Microsoft® DirectX® Installer change my DirectX® files?

A. If you already have other Windows® XP\Vista games on your computer, chances are you already have a version of DirectX® installed. In this case, the Microsoft® installer will detect and overwrite any previous versions with DirectX®. At that point, you will need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.  If, however, you already have DirectX® installed on your computer, the Microsoft® DirectX® installer will detect it and not overwrite any DirectX® files. You will not need to restart your computer after installation in order to run Enemy Territory: Quake Wars™.
