How can we tell that the Direct 9x has been successfully installed after restarting the computer? I have been trying to find my DirectX version and I am unable to locate where it is!ThanksShri

Simply run "dxdiag" from Your run-prompt.RegardsJohn

As John says: Start | Run | dxdiag...Latest build is DirectX 9.0 (4.09.0000.0900)

if "run" cannot find dxdiag, you can locate it easily enough. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to Program Files. Open the DxDirect folder then Setup. Click on the DX symbol and you can run the tests for each aspect of DX....Sherm

Also, when you run dxdiag (from start/run button) you will see a grey box with tabs along the top...Click on each one and at the bottom of the grey-box you will see 'notes' under that should be the words 'no problems' telling you that all is well in each section.
