Directx problem (1 Viewer)

[tunin]

Hello all,

I just installed the new ver. of MediaPortal and installed the new .NET framework, after the setup and the scan of the system for music/vid/photos... I tried to run MP for the first time, it asked me to install the new ver. of DirectXc so I did that, I went to Microsoft downloaded the fresh ver. of this and installed it. Now I am getting this

Please install Direcx 9.0c required
Current ver. installed:4.09.00.0903
MediaPortal cannot run without Directx9.0c

So what am I to do? Please Help.

Thank you.

Hi,

please try running dxdiag (Start->Execute->"dxdiag").

What does your DX version say? Mine says: 4.09.000.0904.

Same Problem here

I am also having the same problem. I have run dxdiag.exe and it says i am running 9.0b (4.09.0000.0903) I have downloaded 9.0c a few times now and have installed it...but Dxdiag still shows 9.0b.

also... I am running on XP Pro with SP2 installed....i thought SP2 came with 9.0c already?

I currently have a NVIDIA Geforce 4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
Could it be that my Grph card does supports 9.0b but not 9.0c

I Went to this link and downloaded a new driver which i think gives my card support for 9.0c but still having no luck

http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache...Ti+4200+DIRECTX+9.0C&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=9


I have been trying to download the support template but get an error everytime i try and run it

Any help would be appreciated

This is a bug of Windows XP....

Just download the LATEST SP2 from Microsoft an install this on your PC. If this not work, create a WinXP Install cd with SP2 intigrated. and reinstall windows.

I got the same problem long time ago. There is a bug in the old SP2 and, if you upgradet, in DirectX 9.0b, wich not allow to install a newer version of DirectX then 9.0b.

For me the 2. method only work, but maybe you have more luck
