I also have DirectX 9.0C but the DxDiag is version 5.03.2600.2180
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

I was wondering based on your experience if you would be able to help me? I
just installed directx9.0c. But on the diagostic tool, the version still
reads 8.1.

Any clue as to why the dxdiag tool is not reporting that 9.0 is insalled???
