I was looking for the newest version of DirectX for a Vista64 OS as I am upgrading to the newest nVidia driver as I have been running nHancer with nVidia's 197.75 driver. I read a thread by Tabs regarding the new nVidia drivers which have eliminated the need for nHancer and in preparing for the update have found something interesting.I downloaded and installed the DirectX Redistributable February 2010, and now many months later I have run dxdiag to find a couple of peculiar things:DirectX tab is missing from the top of the Diagnostic Tool GUI.DirectX Version is registered as DirectX 11, huh? Here is the information that I saved from the DirectX UI:------------------System Information------------------Time of this report: 9/20/2010, 22:51:22 Machine name: FSX2009 Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6002) Service Pack 2 (6002.vistasp2_gdr.100608-0458) Language: English (Regional Setting: English)System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: P5Q BIOS: BIOS Date: 07/10/08 17:59:24 Ver: 08.00.14 Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E8600 @ 3.33GHz (2 CPUs), ~4.0GHz Memory: 4094MB RAM Page File: 1182MB used, 8926MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 7.00.6002.18107 32bit Unicode------------DxDiag Notes------------ Display Tab 1: No problems found.

Vista SP2 and Win7 are the same OS. Hence why they use the same DX11 now. It's been like that since August of last year.

Thanks veeray, I guess I am not as up to date on DX as I thought I was, and this just slipped by me LOL.I just searched for DX 11 in google images and saw the UI no longer has the "DirectX Files" tab and in order to view those files one must go to the Windows\System32 folder.
