Just Reinstalled XP Pro

[Barkhorn1x 9]

...had an issue. PC would not boot outside of Safe Mode. So I had to back up the important stuff and do a fresh install of XP Pro.

 

Now - I am confused by which EXACT DirectX install I should go w/ here. My understanding is that XP uses 9C and Vista uses 10.

 

- Is that in fact correct?

- And, if so, where is the correct link for 9C?

 

Is this it:

You don't really have to worry. MS Update will grab the latest version of DX. Or you can go to www.microsoft.com/directx and get it from there.

 

Anyway, you can't get DX10 for XP, it doesn't exist, so there's no danger of getting the wrong one. Vista uses DX9L I think, but you don't have it so no worries.

Got it. Thanks for your help here. I guess I am just over reacting.
