Hi Heather,
Here's a link to DirectX (from step 5 of my previous post) ;-)
Download and install the complete DirectX 9.0b from:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-4c98-baf3-0c67e7f3751f/dx90update_redist.exe
*Antivirus / Firewalls can corrupt the download and installation,
it's highly recommended you disable them during this process.
