DirectX 9.0c upgrade is out on the microsoft website. It is the regular version, not a beta. I've already downloaded, installed and have been running it for over 5 hours so far and have had no problems. You can get it here.

What does DirectX have to do with SL? I thought SL used OpenGL exclusively?

I believe that SL uses DirectX for sound. I may be wrong.

SL used to use DirectSound but switched to open FMOD around 1.2 because DirectSound was not behaving.
I think there may still be some smallish dependencies of SL on DirectX like getting device configuration and such. But I just don't know. |

On Windows, OpenGL depends on DirectX for a few OS-interface things. Also, SL uses DirectX for some hardware detection.
