If you have 9, you have 8.1. Does the game refuse to play?

Run dxdiag from the Start/Run line. Flip through the various pages and make
sure that everything reports an OK status. Also note the DX version on the
first page. You might want to run the supplied tests for all graphics
functions as well as for sound and music functions.

If in doubt, go to the DX home page and re-install 9.0a.

Is the problem for all games you try and run or just one particular game.
Please post if it is a particular game. Have you looked for upgrade patches
etc for the games. Also do you have the latest graphics card drivers
installed. Prefereably not beta unless you know for sure the beta drivers
fix specific issues you have.
