I just had a thought about something in my system...
When I was doing random updates to my PC, I checked the Microsoft website and seen a DirectX update!
DirectX 9.0c, so I figured eh; why not?
Well ever since then, my FPS have been dropping horribly in games and won't stay stable, and also in my DirectDraw tests or whatever with the spinning DirectX cube; it doesn't spin... It goes into ub3r omG H4X~hyper speed mode and spins so fast it's just a blur really.
So I check my Video Card reccomendations, and it's only meant to support DirectX 8.1... I've tried to re-install the 8.1 DirectX, but it seems to do nothing as the "Version" in dxdiag still says 9.0c...
Can anyone help me figure out how to rip out 9.0c safely and install 8.1?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on my situation, and thanks for everyones help so far!
