I'm in PAL land and I have installed DX 9.0b already. I'm keeping it,

There is a security only fix; see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...n/MS03-030.asp. If
you're having problems with the DX update (which is considerably more
than the security fix), it might be best to stick to that.

Yep - installing *just* the security patch (DirectX9-KB819696-x86-ENU.exe)
and *not* DX9.0b does work. At least it does for me. YMMV.
