My monitor said the same thing. I don't know what the problem was with dx9c,
but I started to have problems, primarily with a couple of games. I tried
all the things that were suggested in this newsgroup. Finally, I just
switched to a different, newer, monitor and the problems were resolved. I'd
switch monitors as a test before you drive yourself nuts installing and
uninstalling various drivers and pieces of software. Wish I did at first.
