Nope. DX9 and DX10 coexist in Vista. Vista comes with DX10 installed, but if you want to use DX9 programs, you will need to install DX9 from the microsoft website. Here is the link, just validate as genuine Vista, and then download the runtime and run it. This will be the most efficient and correct way so that you don't have any conflicts.

Perhaps your laptop came preinstalled with DX9 ?
But yeah...I had the same issue with 3DMark06 in Vista...just installed the latest DX9 and all was well!

3dmark06 is the only bench program that'll run on Vista so far i think, 03/05 wouldn't let me run it.

Yes, but the only way 3DMark06 would have worked with your DX9 based video card is if DX9 was installed.
