I currently have service pack 2 v.2096 installed on windows xp pro; i'm having trouble installing directx 9.0c, even after i go through the directx 9.0c installation procedures, it just shows that i have 9.0b installed. I have used directx eradicator, but it really doesn't help. I noticed that service pack 2 isn't listed under the "supported operating systems" listings on microsoft's web page for directx, is that the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated....i must play sims 2, and it won't let me play without 9.0c....sucks.

went ahead and reinstalled SP2, works fine now. thanks for the help, will definitly post again.
