Hi, I upgraded to dx9 from dx9 beta and when I run dxdiag I get 2 file entries for certain files - one being the beta and one being the full dx9 file. The warning message below shows - Several files (Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll, Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll, Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.dll, etc.) are beta versions, which are unsupported and could cause problems. You should reinstall DirectX to get the latest version. A re-install does not help. When I search for these files I can't find them anywhere(I do have "show all files selected" I've used a couple of dx removers but no joy. I think these file entries may be hidden in the registry or a cab file somewhere. Again I searched the reg and found nothing irregular. Can someone please shed some light ? Thx, Tony
