|I need help upgrading DirectX9.0b to 9.0c. I have tried installing 9c using

| I try to instrall it the installer says I have completed the installation
| properly and all components are ready for use etc. but Dxdiag is still
| telling me that I am running 9.0b.
|
| When I click on the DirectX Files tab in Dxdiag it is telling me that the
| file d3dim.dll is an old version and I should reinstall DirectX to get the
| latest version. I dont know if this has something to do with the problem or
| not.
