harris, - Good point, I'll give it a try.
BTW, downloading from the link I gave does in fact download directx_jun2010_redist.exe - they all redirect to the Microsoft server.
I will install the latest and report back if I can detect any difference.... Thanks.
Edit:
directx_jun2010_redist.exe will not install on my system.
I'll stick with directx_aug2009_redist.exe - I know that that one works!
