Problem with DirectX

[Sandman223]

I'm having a problem running some games like Farcry and HL2 demos, so I ran dxdiag and under the "system" tab I noticed it had my directx version listed as directX9b. I've downloaded the directx9c version and installed it already so I'm confused now. I'd appreciate any answers or suggestions.

Try installing it again and remember to reboot after you do so.

I've tried to reinstall it several times but when I get past the copyright agreement and click next to install it instantly goes to the "finished" screen and says it is done.

where did you get the install for it from? try getting it from a different source.

I got the redist version from microsoft from two sources already

Wait, it wasn't supposed to do that? Maybe this is the problem with my games. I got DX from Microsoft and the SCCT DVD, and both installed like this.
