im having the same problem...
i cant format my computer and install dx9.0c there because i would lose my files....

i really think microsoft should do something about this

ps post if you know and more ways

Firstly, the comment about removing the key using regedit - nice idea, but you're not deleting it, you're just removing any data of its existance. Doing this will end up filling your harddisk with junk that you'll never delete.

Secondly, yes, I've got the same issue, but Microsofts history has always been bad when it comes to support / fixing bugs etc. Knowing this, it's only wise to be able to backup (to CD / DVD / linux server) incase you should ever find yourself in need.

Finally, how many people have said "I've got the same problem, please help", although about 10 different suggestions as to how to remove it have already been given. Read other peoples posts before touching the keyboard and if you've got to say something, try adding something to the discussion rather than "it's not working for me either".

Hi! M
My pc have direct x 9.0c;
and my problem ı just opening the winamp for listen mp3's but ı'm press the play button and error message appears; bad directsound diriver! (error code;88780078).
thank you very much!

For the WinAmp issues. Go into preferences and go to output and highlight 'waveOut output v2.1...'
if its already selected, then double click on it and check a few settings. Device should be set to the name of your sound card, or 'microsoft sound mapper'. if none of these work, then it might be yor sound card. can you play music through another program. windows media player for instance.

I think i'm on the wrong thing, oh well.

DIReCTX 9.0c installtion.

Where can i go to download all the things i'll need to upgrade my 2000 version-I think- of Windows xp home edition. I have Directx 8.1.

Can anyone give me the links and show me how to install it properly.

Thanks :)

DO NOT THINK THAT FORMATTING IS THE ANSWER!
i formated my other comp just to see if that theory worked..i put a earlier version of win xp on w/ no service packs...i downloaded direct x 9.0b..everything worked just fine (including doom 3 that i cant play on my other comp because of 9.0c)...i then upgraded my old comp to winxp gold edition w/ service pack 2...the 9.0c over wrote the 9.0b...everything went wacky again.....u would think since microsft is a multi million dollar corp they would fix such a small prob........microsoft bites!

just to verify salsa28's method, it works. luv ya for that

i have accidently deleted my directX beacuse i needed an older version to play my older games how can i get any directx again (espically 6)

i have priblem because i have installed xp sp2 and now i cant install the direct x c version.can you help me?
