    This problem can happen if you choose to install an optional Windows Update that affects your display drivers. Often getting the latest version of your display drivers (from either nvidia.com or amd.com, they have simple menus in their Support sections) and then re-installing DirectX 9.0c from the link below will solve the problem.
