A good thing to read is this, it gives a good bit of information and also links to the Microsoft download site.

Well I downloaded DirectX 9.0c (Nov 07) of FileHippo and thats the last time it worked correctly. All the other versions since have been corrupt even the ones of Microsoft. ![;)]()
ok, I will have a look now, thank you

thank you for your useful information.
I've never installed or updated DirectX
just two questions please.
what OS are you using?
did you have to re-install the previous version after trying to installed the latest corrupted ones?
I've installed all versions of DirectX over the years (apart from 10 the last one) without any problem. I think it started with version 3. The only slight problem is you can easily uninstall it. I downloaded a DirectX uninstaller last your but I haven't tried it as it only works with WinNT.

Read my Sig. I was using Win98SE but it kept on crashing yesterday so I decided to put WinME in which I don't actually like.
No I haven't reinstalled the good file DirectX 9.0c (Nov 07) after is won't install. Actually I tried to install 9.0c after I did a rebuild but they is something corrupt again. I copied all my backup files over onto a spare drive. I also burnt DirectX with other files to a CD, I shall have to try one of those. ![;)]()

it's really weird, I installed the version march 2009, it displayed that it was installed successfully, but when I open Dxdiag, I find the same previous verison DirectX 9.0c (4 09 .0000.0904) ![:blink:]()
See version list here

Yours looks right for XP.
The next one up is for vista
yes, you're right, I installed the latest version, and it has the same version number : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX#Release_history
thanks.

Yes I found DirectX9.0, 9.0b on other CD's I've burnt. I installed 9.0 and checked the version number then I installed 9.0b and it still had the same version number I did find DirectX 9.0c (Nov 07) on a flash drive that I had saved and that still show the same version number. I know the file sizes are a lot bigger 9.0 is 35MB and 9.0c is 92MB so there must be a lot of additional file in there.
I've downloaded DirectX 9.0c (Mar 09) (FileHippo) again for the fifth time I will see what happens. Oh my WinME is s**t so Win98SE is going back. ![;)]()
