    How to enable DX debug runtimes?

    Hallo everyone.

    OS: Windows vista 32bit
    IDE: Delphi 7
    API: DirectX SDK

    I have a little problem because i don't know how to enable the DirectX debug runtimes. This is usualy done using the DirectX control panel. I don't have that.

    It worked on W98 but somehow i can't get the DirectX control panel working on vista.
    I installed the DX SDK April 2007 and it didn't appear. I also downloaded the DX Developer runtimes but that appeared to be a few directories full of DLL's. I don't know what to do with those DLL's. :?

    Can someone point me out how to enable the debug runtimes or make the DX Control panel work in vista??

    Thank you.

    Ohw i think i solved it

    I googled for "DirectX control panel" and i found some download sites wich offered me a Directx.CPL file. You need to put that in System32 and a control panel item will appear.

    I also found "DirectX control panel" in "DirectX utilities" in the programs menu. So it IS provided with the SDK, but i expected it to be on the control panel .

    Yea, starting from Feb(?) 2007 SDK DirectX control panel is no longer placed in ControlPanel actually. But can only be located in start menu under "DirectX SDK/DirectX Utilities"
