Direct X - Can It not detect its own existance?

[Skeeter]

Hi

Im going through that 'reinstall all my games after re-format' stage, as Im sure most of you are familiar with. Just something ive noticed, every single game I install asks me if I want to install Direct X (9.0, 9.0c, etc, depending on games). DX9c was installed with the first game I installed, yet every other game I install srill asks me to install it, then warns me the game wont work when I click no! Surely they could code in for DX installs to cheack whats already there!

Sorry, rant over

Like going into a Japanese forum and going 'OMG! Your name is Dave!'
