I have run into this with quite a few (4-7) programs...
I'll do a system check/overview in the program(s) and it'll either say I need to upgrade DirectX (Sometimes to 8.xx, sometimes to 9). I have DirectX 9.0b installed (I did the upgrade to 9.0b first but decided to uninstall it and go with the full version, which can't be uninstalled).
What could be causing DirectX to not be detected?
The only thing I can think of (but have yet to test) is the fact that I have Intel Application Accelerator installed. It ticks me off too! That program actually does speed up the boot time and general program running, but I have run into a couple of really bad things that it causes:
A) I can't upgrade my CD R/RW, or my DVD+R/RW drives' firmware while IAA is installed. Rather annoying.
B) I get alerts from quite a few programs telling me that DMA is not enabled on drive <x>, which will effect the performance of blah blah blah. DMA is enabled!! (At least, according to IAA it is enabled on all drives)
Blah! This post probably wasn't even needed, unless any of you have had this problem and it wasn't due to IAA...
Either way...feel free to comment!
