HI guys, When using the dxdiag tool to find out my current version of DirectX, it appears to me that its reporting V 8.1 or there abouts. I'm reading this information in the 'General Tab, so either I'm reading it in correctly, or its out of date. Reading an article on the Knowledge base, I understood there are several different components of DirectX of different versions? I'm on XP home with all the latest updates applied, but this may not include DirectX. Any thoughts on this one?
