Then I would surmise you are posting in the wrong news group. This news
group if for 64 bit OS's.

Before doing that, I would try to do a system restore to before your DirectX
update. Also a recommendation to do a drive image before installing
anything critical to your functions.

Well despite asking here i think it would be approiate to ask the right news
group since this is for 64bit Operating systems only.

On that note some updates won't be show unless you have the show updates box
up the top ticked. or do a system rollback since it was an update that
causing the issue.

Start Menu Programs Accessories System Tools System Restore will allow you
to rollback without having to format. it seems like the best option.

I agree with System restore, that looks like the best way to remove any
unwanted updates. Correct newsgroup anyway is
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
