I can only guess that something is wrong with DirectX on your system(s). Maybe try to force a full reinstall of DirectX 9.0c. i.e. You could try the following: “Normally the DirectX installer will refuse to install if it detects that you already have the latest version of DirectX installed. This makes it a pain in the ass to fix a broken DirectX installation. Luckily, there is a small workaround to trick the DirectX installer into a full re-installation. Run the Registry Editor: Start -> Run -> regedit Navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX Change the value of version from ‘4.09.00.0904′ to ‘4.08.00.0904′. Now run the DirectX installer.”Click to expand... ...or you could try one of the applications shown here: How to Uninstall DirectX and Reinstall to Repair DirectX Raymond.CC Blog Last edited: Oct 24, 2009 Russ, Oct 23, 2009 #2 MDM1982 New Member Joined: Oct 23, 2009 Messages: 5 Likes Received: 0 Trophy
