After I reformat my PC my directx wont update even with the mobo's driver. Even the downloaded driver(s) doesn't even work, please help me on this I can't play an Online game with 9.0c directx requirement

BTW my directx is stuck on 9.0b

You mean you can't update the DirectX from 9.0b to 9.0c? That's rather weird. I've been an XP user and I updated DirectX to 9.0c flawlessly as far as I can remember.

Have you tried downloading and installing this?

I did this plenty of times already but the result is still the same

I tried to research your problem and I found out that this issue is rather common when you're using Windows XP SP2.

Have you tried following the directions mentioned on this article?

Also, I was just wondering, maybe you could consider upgrading with clean install to Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Okay I've read the article and currently trying it.



I'll post if it worked
