There were also changes to the registry to report the DX 9.0c which you 
may not have installed. There may, however, be things that we're missing 
to report the version. I personally have no idea how EQ2 is attempting 
to determine the DirectX version, but there are probably about 
100000000000 different methods and it's possible that not all are 
covered off.
