HI guys,
i am a new member to this forum and i hav a problem related to directx.
my configuration is as follows :

800 MHz. Socket 478
80 GB samsung HDD @7200 rpm

i hav SP2 installed on my comp. and DX9.0b came with it. Now i wanted to update it to DX9.0c
I hav tried it many times but it has still not upgraded to dx9.0c ( i did it with the dx that comes bundled with latest games)
the version no is still same. I cant play any of the new games like sims2, nfsmw, etc..
then i downloaded the redist. version & installed it , unfortunately nothing happened.
Also when i click on install, "installation complete " screen flashes instantly.
what should i do???

My DXDIAG flashes " ! " mark infront of qsal.dll file
the note is :
The file qasf.dll is an old version, which could cause problems.
You should reinstall DirectX to get the latest version.

I have updated all my drivers & they r even WHQL certified (Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs )

HERE is my DXDIAG report :

This problem has been asked many times here, and has been solved promptly too.

You basically need to uninstall Direct-X 9.0b and then install v9.0c
Uninstall safely with a tool called DirectX Happy uninstall.
