DirectX 9.0C
I have read and seen several post's about the 9.0c version of DirectX and
have not seen what i woudl like to know. I tried testing a game called SilkRoad with my Vista system come to find out, that I do not have the proper DirectX files. Their site offers a version of it, but it does not install, it just extracts. I went to the Windows site and downloaded the 9.0c there. I installed it then restarted my PC. I tried to get on the game again and here is the message i have been getting since i tried it the first time "DirectX 9.0c is not installed or its version is not 9.0b. Silkroadonline needs DirectX 9.0b or later version." Any assistance would be great.

DirectX 9.0C
I guess the obvious question would be, have you tried running it in XP SP 2
compatibility mode ? "BenV" wrote in message ... I have read and seen several post's about the 9.0c version of DirectX and have not seen what i woudl like to know.

DirectX 9.0C
I actually have tried running it under the WindowsXP SP2 Capability mode,and
no, it did not work. My computer would just crash every time i tried it. I also tried installing the DirectX9.0c and it installs nothing. Once it begins the system check to see if i already have it, it says that i do. I am running Vista RC1 Build 5600. Any help would be great.
