DirectX Redistributable 9.0c APRIL 2007 :

Microsoft DirectX is a group of technologies designed to make Windows-based PCs an ideal platform for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements such as full- color graphics, 3D animation, video and rich audio.

DirectX 9.0c includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications using the DirectX 9.0 APIs.

Download link :
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/DirectX-9.0c-Redistributable.shtml#

DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime setup minimizes the download size but requires an internet connection during setup.

The DirectX 9.0c Redist is available for download for those users that do not have an internet connection available during installation or Setup has trouble connecting to the Microsoft server.

1. INCREASE YOUR INTERNET BANDWIDTH !

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (for updates and interrogating your machine etc).

Here's how to get it back : (Works on XP Pro and 2000.)

click START -> RUN -> type "gpedit.msc" (without the quotes)

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QOS Packet Scheduler -> Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is NOT configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So, ENABLE the reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

It worked for me, so should work for you too.

Des, I was able to access youtube...& even view some videos... but many other videos were not loading... today it's better... I tried reinstalling the flash player as suggested in their help sec... maybe that is making the diff... :)
