Hello:

I just down purchased and downloaded the Vegas Video
upgrade software. Upon installing the program, I was told
that I need to have Direct X 8 installed on the computer.
I did not know this!!! I'm concerned that the Direct X 8
may not be compatible with a couple of audio/midi recording
softwares that I currently own. They are: 1) Steinberg's
Wavelab and 2) Emagic's Logic Audio Platinum software. I
have read both software forums that describe nightmarish
incompatability problems with Direct X 8. Steinberg even
suggests not using the Direct X 8 software and to use the
Direct X 7a instead. So far, I have **NOT** installed the
Direct x 8 software and therefore the Vegas Video upgrade
(which cost me $400.00!!!) because I'm afraid of messing
with the other software I own. Please advise. Is there a
way of installing the Vegas Video software without the
Direct X 8 upgrade?!?!?

Thanks in advance.
