REDWAGON Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I've had 9.0c on my computers for more than a year now Neil. So do I hear you suggesting that you have to have this "New Redistributable" 9.0c on the computer to run EMC 8 ?? If that's the case then there are probably thousands out there that are having problems because they have no idea of this new 9.0c. Frank....

REDWAGON Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 That's ironic that you suggest that Brendon, as I sent a PM to Gary suggesting the same thing. I too kind of think that it's just another way for MS to find out if your "GENUINE" . as you have to go through that procedure before you can download the newer update. And---I checked the version of my directX 9.0c before I did the download for the update and then afterwards ran "dxdiag" again and the version was still the same. UMMMMM--- Has anyone else check that ? Frank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
