It could be one single core unit of the DX9 that is corrupted, or more likely out of date.

by older mycroft

That because you've GOT DirectX 9.0c that it's up-to-date.

DirectX 9.0c arrived around July/August 2004 (it was needed to play the original FarCry) but it continues to update with each game that I've installed since, right up to and including FarCry2, X3-Terran Conflict & GTA4.

So, Nero 8 is perhaps telling you that YOUR installed build of DirectX 9.0c is older than it should be. ;)

What version should i have?

(@ work now, i see V 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904))

by older mycroft

My current version is sitting at:

V9.0c (9.12.0589.0000) @ 28/12/2008

I'd say that's why Nero 8 is complaining to you. ;)
