[QUOTE="arachnotron, post: 70585, member: 12975"] FYI, it seems microsoft silently updates directX files without updating the overall version number. I was running directX 9.0c, version 4.09.0000.0904. After installing the latest end user runtimes, which are [url=http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=47&p=1&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&u=details.aspx%3ffamilyid%3dFB73D860-5AF1-45E5-BAC0-9BC7A5254203%26displaylang%3den]from april 2006 [/url]I found that a number of directX dll files had been updated. Most were d3D related, but a few of the core files like directX.dll were newer too. These updates are not available on the regular windows update, you have to download them manually. They did not fix the problem, but it might be worthwile revisiting these pages ever so often since the next silent release just might contain the bug-fix we need for this.
