DirectX 8.1 Hotfix
Microsoft has identified an issue concerning DirectX 8.1 on AMD based systems. Here is a clip from the story:
Some DirectX 8.1 programs may simply stop working on AMD PCs, and Microsoft has come up with a patch to fix the problem.

The problem applies to DirectX programs running under Windows XP on AMD platforms. Intel processors are unaffected, the posting on Microsoft's support site here says.

According to the posting, "the DrawIndexedPrimitive function stops working without displaying an error or debug message". Microsoft fesses up and says the error occurs because of "a code error in the AMD-specific optimized code. This code error may lead to heap corruption," it says.

It only affects WinXP .. and most people will already have the fix as the beta fix was needed to play Grand Theft Auto III properly on a WinXP system
