Oppgraderer hovedkort og Windows - Men hva med directX?

[Onkel]

Jeg har akkurat skrevet alt dette på Google Groups. Siden to millioner hjerner tenker bedre enn en million, poster jeg den her også. Men jeg gidder ikke skrive på nytt. Derfor: *klipp and paste*

I am upgrading my mainboard and processor. And I've been told that in order to benefit fully from it, I should also re-install windows (98 and 2000, dual boot).

 

I use win98 as the basis for a recording studio, which is DirectX-based. I use quite a lot of different DirectX plugins for different sound applications, and these plug-ins are loaded with DirectX, not the app. From what I understand, they can be seen more like drivers than as applications as such.

 

The problem is that if I re-install windows completely, I may also have to re-install Direct-X, and thus lose all my precious plugs and their settings. Of course, I can just re-install these as well, but that includes a lot of extra work and a LOT of fine-tuning and optimizing.

 

Any way of getting around this? Is it, for instance, possible to:

 

-Install windows, but somehow keeping the old DirectX on top of it?

-Install windows and DirectX, but make some kind of backup of the reference that DirectX has made to the plugins?

-Installi windows ON TOP OF the old version ("repair"?), thus getting it to update the hardware set-up and optimize to it, but without losing the old settings and references?
