Directx reporting wrong version

[cammy85]

Hey all! I originally found this forum for the Windows 98 SE/TE (Third Edition or Millenium) Service Packs. Great job so far as my old 98 SE computer worked better until we got rid of it.

Anyways, for the real reason I'm here: I have Windows XP with SP2 so that SHOULD come with Directx 9.0c. Well, for asome reason dxdiag (and everything else) is reporting Directx 7.0. Has this happened to anyone? If so, how do you fix it (besides reinstalling Windows again). Oh, and I made customizations with XPlite and a few web sites if that info helps. If you need more info, just holler.

Try downloading and installing the 9.0c from Microsoft site.

I think you really do have 7.0

I fixed it! I had to use Directx Happy Uninstaller to remove the faulty installation, install 8.1 then uograde to 9.0c. I happy now (until it happens again...).
