There seem to be problems with my installed GeForce 5200 and/or the AMD Athlon processor on my old PC (Win98SE. Ahlon XP 1.1GHz) and this new release of "DirecTX 9.0c".
All "DirectX'-based games crash big time; they played normal with "DirectX 8.x" and before I replaced the graphics card (which -ironically- states it supports "DirectX 9"). All "DirectX" diagnostic tests went fine but any of the games reboot the computer or 'freeze' with bizarre patterns on the monitor crawling from bottom to top....Strange!
