Hi

Did you try to update via Windows Update or did you manually download
DirectX 9.0c?

I have a problem very similar so here it goes. I installed SP2 after a lot of
hastle and now I can't update DirectX. When I try to start the installer it
just skips everything and goes stright to "finished" like it should if the
same version already is installed. The DXdiagnostictool sais that 9.0c is
installed althaw the instalation proces was skipped (also the first time) and
none of the programs that require a fresh version works. my question: is
there a way to force-install DX9.0c over the existing installation?
