I looked at the dxdiag.txt file in C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX. This reads: DirectX Files Tab: The file d3d9d.dll is a debug version, which will run slower than the retail version.& d3d9d.dll: 9.18.0944.0000 English Final Debug 6/2/2010 12:23:21 3083608 bytes (problem)How do I get a retail version? I didn't down the debug version myself - it must have been part of an automatic update.

Here´s the November 2010 DirectX update.Cheers,- jahman.
