DirectX problem with Vista

[Demon]

Tried to install directX 9.0c after I installed Call of Duty 2 on Windows Vista basic, but directX doesn't seem to work.
I get -DirectX Error- "DirectX(R) encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the DirectX(R) FAQ for possible solutions."
I tried to reinstall DirectX and downloaded newest one (9.0c) from microsoft website.

Any1 knows anything that could help me?

Demon, did you try installing the August 2007 DirectX Redistribution package? You can find it here: www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=CB7397F3-0949-487B-9247-8FEE451BF952&displaylang=en

Another thing to try is to update your video card's drivers to the latest version. With Vista, both nVIDIA and ATi are releasing frequent driver updates for Vista to improve 3D compatibility and performance.

Latest nVIDIA Driver (Forceware 163.75): www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_rel70betadriver.html

Latest ATi Driver (Catalyst 7.10): ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

You could also try updating your Call of Duty 2 to the latest version as well. I have Call of Duty 2 v.12 running on Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit (using GeForce 8800 GTX with latest nVIDIA driver) without any issues.
