I have posted here numerous times over having problems with random freezing in games since installing SP1.
I have always been convinced that it was conflicting dll files and now I think I have found a solution. There is a known conflict with
DirectX 8.1/XP/AMD and the solution is a particular version of the d3d8.dll and the ddraw.ll.
Trouble is SP1 has installed a new dll for each of these and as it is newer I cannot overwrite the newer files in the System32. Out of all the Direct X files these two are the only files that the SP pack has altered. All the rest are the original XP CD install files. The two files I want to put on are a higher version than the original but lower than the SP1 files.
Does anyone know of a way of deleting the 2 SP1 dll's so I can install the ones that AMD/Microsoft have stated as solving the problem.
Every time I try to overwrite them the SP files appear again Even after renaming them to old they still come back in their original state when I try to put the other files on.
