DirectX 9.0b crash

[Guest]

I recently installed DirectX 9.0b, the version shipped
with Max Payne 2, on my XP based computer. The Diagnostic
tool (dxdiag) worked fine for a while but then crashed
and is now giving me a message, whenever I try to run it,
saying 'Dxdiag has detected that there may have been a
problem accessing DirectInput the last time this
programme was used. Would you like to bypass Directinput
this time?' If I click on 'yes', it seems to go fine
except that obviously there is no info in the Input
section. However, if I click 'no', the programme crashes
again. I am wondering if this is a problem that might
cause other processes to go wrong, i.e. games etc or if
anyone can tell me what is the cause of this and if it
can be fixed. I would post to the DirectX newsgroup but I
can't find it so if anyone can direct me... Thanks in
advance.
