Since you've updated to DX9.0c, I would recommend that you also update the following device drivers for your system:
 
Chipset/INF driver package, I usually go to the chipset OEM like Intel/Via/SiS etc....
 
VGA/Graphics driver package, again go to the GPU/VGA chipset OEM like ATi/nVidia....
 
I would also recommend finding out what Audio chipset you're using, wether it be onboard or a separate sound card and getting the very latest driver package for that, as I said above, I go to the Audio chipset OEM like Realtek/Cmedia/Analog Devices/Creative Labs(Soundblaster) etc...
 
Basically find the latest driver packages for your system and download these then install them one at a time and reboot after each one is installed for proper operation of your machine
