leo...are you sure you can't downgrade directx 9.0c? cuz 9.0c is the crappiest piece of $#@! I have ever seen, cuz it can't play games that need 9.0 (such as GTA SA)

It's me again, when I Run... "dxdiag" it appears Direct X 10 successfuly and I ran all the Direct X tests and all of them worked proparly. So I am not comfortable about it from XP Codec is telling me Direct X 7 or Higher and I got Direct X 10 so please answer ASAP.

Hey Leo, I got a question about Direct X. I probably installed an illegal direct X 10 from a website and when I want to install XP Codec it says that I have to install Direct 7.0 or Higher??????? So, how can I delete this Direct X to install a new one from Microsoft official website??

Thanks, Leo, for completely breaking my DirectX with your stupid Idea of deleting the Registry Key. Now the installer from MS can't run at all, and I can't play any games. Even my 2-d desktop graphics are choppy, although I am running a high end 512MB video card *sigh*

I don't recall ever suggesting such a thing. The article you commented on certainly doesn't mention it.

-Leo

cannot play Need for Speed Carbon and the problem caused by not meeting the system requirement of the game. I already checked other system requirements and i noticed that my directX version is not updated (My current directx ver. is 9.0b) However, i tried to install/update to directx 9.0c but after installing and I'd checked dxdiag still the same version found. I'v already search for any possible solutions to solve this problem and it drives me crazy (hehe..) anywy, if there's any possible solution.. I really need your help (indeed) and to all NFS gamers out there! Let's solve this ONE! thanks^^

via www.ozzu.com/ftopic33122.html

fwd of a post..

I HAVE A SOLUTION!!!!

Well it worked for me anyway.

You need both the 9.0b and 9.0c full versions. both around 30Mb each. Unzip both to respective temp folders. then copy and paste the following from 9.0b to 9.0c:

dxsetup

dsetup32.dll

DSETUP.dll

next you need a direct x uninstaller. i used dx eradicator from majorgeeks.com, bu there are plenty around

pls email at camomanliveshere@hotmail.com to tell me if it worked for you, since i wanna know if i fluked it for sum crazy reason

Happy playin, and of course I take no responsibility if anything happens to your system (I have to say that dont I) due to using this fix. Im still happily playin and since the original post i made i have had people email me saying it works for them to without problems.

Cam

I did as suggested to uninstall/remove Dx9c. It 'appears' to have worked as dxdiag now shows nothing listed for DirectX. The problem is I cannot install ANY direct X!

Hi all, I finally got this thing to work and it's not as easy as it usually is. First you do not need to uninstall DX9.0b at all. Just hit this link http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html and download the standalone version of Service Pack 2 released August 2006. Believe me, even if your windows CD says SP2 already, you need this. Install this service pack and voila "regedit" now says DX version 9.0c. And this new service pack also improves the computer functionality. Check it out everybody.

Well I had Need for Speed Most wanted, I uninstalled the operating system I then installed direct x 9.0b, Every time I try opening the game it gives me some direct x error! Even if you try installing direct x 9.0c the installation process will finish without installing direct x 9.0c.So I followed the war's posting and it worked.

Ps:We need more people like you in this world.

FROM ANOTHER FORUM

Dead easy, just tell windows that the current version installed is a
lower version.

Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
DirectX
Version
For 9.0c I have a version number of 4.09.0000.0904
Change it to 4.08.0000.0904 and windows (and direct X installers) will believe you
have directX 8 installed.

I had directX 9.0B installed and 9.0c refused to install until I pulled
this trick on it.

Xocyll

worked for me

If you want to uninstall DirectX, just RE-INSTALL your computer(by deleting everything). After that you can download DirectX at www.microsoft.com!

The service pack for windows 2003 server (Sp1) removes direct music! WHY? way to go Microsoft! now i cant run any applications that use direct music.. of which i have several. :

there is a prgram that can remove directx, its called directx happy uninstall and i hear it works quite well, havent tried it myself though.

i have solved the problem!!!!
Actually, it is very very easy. All you have to do is follow these steps(I got this from EA technical Support)

1. Forget about it.
2. Find a new hobby.
3. Microsoft sucks so dont try to fix their stuff.
4. The only problem is your brain, if you try to forget about it and find a new interest in life that does not involve this stupid DirectX, you will be OK.....

yea my computer upguard to XW SP2 then I install DirectX 9.0c. my computer report

Please enable Direct3D acceleration. You can do this by starting dxdiag and enabling Direct3D Acceleration in the Display1/2 tab after installing DirectX 8.1b (or later) and the latest drivers for your graphics card.

I have agree with the last guy that said D9's suck ass! We were given an AMD ahthalon 850 pcu w/ME.We downloaded a shrek game,from wal-mart, for my son. After installing the D9 that came with the game,my screen turned total blue! Tried several fixes,none have worked! Have tried to start in safe mode,just get grey screen with the words safe mode in all four corners of screen!The only thing I can do is hit ctrl/alt/del. the computer restarts goes through scan disk,then screen turns totally blue, with no error messages. Go figure?

alright, this is a recurring problem. I think the guy that first answered this question is right because that same thing happenned to me. And I want to kill microsoft for it
they have made my life hell. Hard to believe I actually stuck with windows... but I can only play my games on pc so ...
Anyways, this DX 9.0c is the problem I think the installation in and of itself is the problem. whoever uses directx should definetely avoid two things. 1. auto updates. and 2. Updating directx pas version 8.1 al the 9s suck ass and are not worth updating to.

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!

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.

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".

if u cant play sims 2 because u cant install directx 9.0c (the instaler finishes very quickly but u still have the formal version), this is how u fix it:
the problem is service pack 2 (SP2). so if u format your PC, install windows with sp1, install dx9.0(it should work) then upgrade to SP2.
it`s 100% sucses
try it

2005-12-06T19:12:35Z

well people about installing directX 9.0c I've found the solution:
You need both the 9.0b and 9.0c full versions. both around 30Mb each. Unzip both to respective temp folders. then copy and paste the following from 9.0b to 9.0c:

dxsetup
dsetup32.dll
DSETUP.dll

next you need a direct x uninstaller. i used dx eradicator from majorgeeks.com, bu there are plenty around

once done simply run dxsetup in the 9.0c version (which would be the one you copied before right) and it will install using the files from the folder it is in. and there you go you have installed directx 9.0c.
Check the dxdiag, and you'll se that now your version of directX is 9.0c! The only problem is that I still cannot run Age of Empires 3, cause there's a window saing:
Direct3D initialization failed. Possible causes:
Old or corrupted graphics driver.
Direct3D improperly installed.
Hardware acceleration disabled

So can anyone help
Thanx...

I'm running a Windows 2003 server in a Citrix environment and my DirectX is corrupt. I ran the DX test link given by Microsoft -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/filter/AlphaImageLoader_0.htm -- and my Internet Explorer crashed while the page was opening. Unfortuantely, I need to use IE because the WebConference service that I am trying to join requires me to use that browser.

I called Microsoft - no help. I called Citrix - no help. Do you have any ideas?
