In this article I will teach you how to check your direct x version.
This is actually one of the easiest processes. To do this:
- click start, run.., type in "dxdiag" click ok.

Direct X Diagnostics will now run, you may or may not be prompted 
for a WHQL driver signature check, you may run this if you want to
make sure your video drivers are XP compatible, if not just click
No.

A screen will appear, at the bottom of this window will be the
entry DirectX Version: <x>, this is your version number. For a
more analystic view click the DirectX Files for file versions of
all direct x components. Please note, it IS normal for not all
file versions to be the same.
