Direct X 9b problem I think

I copied this from my post about the problem with my Betamax but later It seem to point to my Canopus card then to directX 9b which I down loaded last week. Vegas 4 0or 5 will not capture analog either. I had no problems until the Direct X 9b came into play

I just found out the I could not capture form either analog soucesVCR or Beta amx but I could capture from my DV cam. I also checked the preview on my Canopus ADVC-1394 controller and it was black too so, I began thinking what did do to affect the Canopus card? I down loaded the Directx 9.b runtime last week. Before that I could capture just fine with Vegas 5.0a. Is there any way to back up to directx8.1 which I had before I foolishly upgraded to 9b? How do i check which version of dirext X have? I posted this on the Canopus 1394 forum site to but I may not see anything there until next week. I hope to get quicker help here.

Win XP Pro SP1, Canopus ADVC=1394, Vegas 4.0d and Vegas 5.0a

Start, Run, type in dxdiag - that will bring up the utility so you can do diagnostic tests and see what version of DirectX you are running.

Turns out i still hav directX 8.1 and not 9.0b thak goodness. Anyway, I reseated the Canopus ADVC-1394 card in it's PCI slot and all my capture issues went away, including capture now from this old Betmax
