Hi, Richard. Well, the MS Windows update service generally does not have the newist build of Microsoft DirectX. They tend to run a little behind as they allow developers and companies to test them for reliability before making them apart of the standard Windows update. Makes sense really. However, you can always download a full product upgrade or a update setup file for the latest DirectX 9.0C from http://www.microsoft.com/directx and the current version is DirectX 9.0C June 2006. Which is the version I will be posting to USA Games soon. As for checking your version of DirectX there is a way to find out which build you have, but it won't tell you the month and year of release. The dxdiag tool wil scan your system and tell you something like DirectX Version: 9.0C 4.09.xxxxxx where 4.09.xxxx is the current build number. To run the dxdiag tool go to start menu, run, type dxdiag, and press enter. Use your Window Eyes WE curser or JFW Jaws curser to read the output.
