I just bought Madden 2003 and am having video problems. I have DirectX 8.1 installed but the driver number (whatever that is) is supposed to be atleast 4.12.00.000 but mine is 4.11.01.1321 which, according to the madden manual, needs to be updated. How is that done? Do I need to buy a new video card or something? My OS is Win ME.

Have you tried [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads/drx81.asp](http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads/drx81.asp)

Also some games have the latest version of DX right on the CD. Browse around and see what turns up.
