on dxdiag it shows i have 9.0b when it suppose to say 9.0c. I know i installed it successfully and also the sdk june_2005 also but i dont know whats going on here.

Try downloading and installing this:
DirectX 9.0c Redistributable for Software Developers - Multilingual, 34.2 MB.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;displaylang=en

yo i finally got 9.0c to run and show on dxdiag. now the problem is, that sshot i have up there. I ran the sdk and it ran perfectly. Now when i run the game, im still getting that error. wats going on here?

Download the file from here: http://www.speckdrumm.org/EvilOne/d3dx9_25.dll and place it to BF installation folder, to same folder where the main executable is. Now try running the game.

Click Start, then Run. Type dxdiag and press enter.
On the "System" tab, you should see "DirectX Version:"
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904).

oh ye and i thought id tell you i have 3 corrupt .dll files just thought it might help you if u new

ok having small bits of info isnt goign to help you help me so this si wat im going to do im going to tell you absaloutly everything tat is rong or that i think stops bf2 from running. to start with i got my hard drive split and according to the guy who did it i cant use windows updates the computer still thinks i have 9.0b yet ive tried everything and more u have told me to do when i go to add/remove programes i can see bf2 yet it wont let me uninstall it no matter how hard i try and when i put the cd in instead of saying play game it still says install but it is already installed so i click install the installation wont run so now i cant uninstall it or install it ive tried putting the d3dx9_25.dll in the bf2 folder didnt work i took it out and downloaded that other one put it in system32 folder didnt work i have 4 corrupt .dll files when i go to dxdiag one of them being "Several files (d3dx8d.dll, d3dx9d.dll, d3d9d.dll) are debug versions, which will run slower than the retail version." thats what it says in DXDIAG curious if i delete them and reinstall 9.0c will that work or mess up the computer im looking for as much help as i can get o ye and it still skips the instalation when i try installing 9.0c or the one that u told me to install basically skips anything to do with 90.c Several files (d3dx8d.dll, d3dx9d.dll, d3d9d.dll) are debug versions, which will run slower than the retail version.

I had the same problem it took like 4 hours to fix. Uninstall direct x then reinstall windows sp2 and it should work.
