What the heck!?!?

  Ok so I am trying to load a game and it says: "Failed to enumerate a directx 9 compatible card"   I have an ATI 4850 with Direct 10c, but on dxdiag it says I have 11c.   How can I get rid of 11c, and make my card compatible?

Where is this game from ? ?
DX10 and higher all support DX9 so either it's the game or a hardware setting...

With Windows Vista/7, they both come with DirectX10 or 11.

However, DirectX 10 and 11 are not backward compatible for use with DirectX9 or earlier.

In order to play a DX9 or earlier game on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you need to install the DirectX9 run-time. the web setup can be found here.

Except that he's using Vista, which comes with DX10 (DX11 with SP2)
