Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Restore System, System

Thanks, Art. I'll give it a try.

Sounds a bit drastic but it obviously worked for you.

I gather that there were some glitches in the first release of DX9, hence 9.0a &
b.

Does anyone know if these are incremental patches or whether 'b' also contains
the fixes present in 'a'?

Usually MS patches are not incremental - b should contain everything a had.
