SB Live and DirectX 8

[Bubba]

Will the SB Live work properly if you install DirectX8 on a WinME machine? I know SB Live doesn't work that well to begin with, but has anyone tried it? If so, what were the results?
I need them to work together as is because I can't wait for Creative to release new drivers, I would be 90 years old by then.
I really want to play Mechwarrior 4 and it requires DirectX 8.

Thanks

Bubba, I plan to pick up SB Live DE 5.1 tomorrow and test it on the night. I am running DX8 (And have not had any problems yet, though I have only tested Balder's Gate2). I don't see why it would not work perfectly. Later DX versions should include all previous features. I will attempt to put in a post 2 days from now to let you know how I go. I am only testing it to see if it will function on the new Athlon setup, as my MX300 causes crashes.

Thanks, I have made up my mind to try and put it on.

Athlon 1.1Ghz, A7V, Geforce 32MB DDR, SoundBlaster DE 5.1, DirectX8. All running nicely, though I am still on W98.
Woops, I forgot to put my DRAM back to 133Mhz. Probably won't crash now that I have replaced the sound card.

On one of my computers, I am using an SBLive!, DX8, and WinME with no problems.

SB Live! (with Creative Win2k drivers), DX8, Win 2000. The perfect combination for me.
