Do I need to install the DirectX end-user Runtime?
Today on the Microsoft.com home page, is a banner of Silverlight full-width, and a section is a link to 'Get the update of DirectX'. By clicking on the link takes you here.
This download says download page is for Windows 7 (and practically all other OS made in the last decade)... but do I need? I do not understand why I would install DirectX 9. something when I'm on Windows 7, which already uses a newer version of DirectX.
I'm a tech person. I live and I dream of MSDN and TechNet, I know best practices and read the KB for fun... so if I'm confused about this, I can't imagine how to confuse any normal user is when they see a banner telling them to install DirectX 9.
Help?

Shawn,
If you have not seen this link, then when you have the time go out there and post your suggestions. Articles in the forums are watched, but it is a more direct link to provide suggestions and comments for Windows 7. Thanks for the comments.

I get out of the freeze with ctrl alt del, but it does not download the directx file. I need it to run a demo game, I got from the internet, it is called "spore creature creator trial edition. How can I download the file? Alternatively, could you tell me what is wrong with him?
In addition, the file is:
d3dx9_27.dllHello Will.Crisler,
Thank you for posting. You will need to download the DirectX 9 .0c and install it to the necessary file added to your system. It will not replace DirectX 10, but you give the necessary file to make your game work. I have included the link below to download.
Please let me know if this helps you.

What is needed to install the Apple Profile Manager
I am trying to use the Profile Manager as our MDM solution for a roll-out of iPads. Anyone knows what is needed to install the Profile Manager? I tried to contact the guy through my Representative, who introduced me to the MPA but haven't heard anything back. Any help would be great.
Well, a mac.
Last Profile Manager requires el Capitan. El Capitan requires 2 gigabytes of memory. A reasonable minimum is 4gig. You prefer get 8gig. you prefer to get an external hard drive to back up your machine. The Profile Manager is a separate download? -No - I think. Thus, you prefer to buy the el Capitan Server version.
El CAP requirements are a little convoluted.

Do I need to install the important updates or recommended?
Original title: HP Pavilion Elite HPE210
I have reinstalled Windows 7 on this desktop computer. Do I need to install the important updates or recommended? I g6 Pavilion laptop which I reinstalled windows 7 same question but I don't update windows drivers. Who updates the drivers then?
Yes, of course, you must do all the Important Windows updates to bring your computer up-to-date and secure. In fact, most of these updates are patches to fix security vulnerabilities.
Optional updates are another matter. In fact, most of them is not good for your computer. You need a source very knowledgeable information to guide you to choose those.
Regarding the drivers,.
Almost without exception, your ONLY source of drivers for your computer are on the HP support web site. Windows Update will sometimes offer driver updates that mostly (but not always) are OK, but you should prefer the HP as your source.
Don't get caught up in a frenzy more updates driver. In practice, they rarely need to be looked at and then only if there is a specific problem to solve.
NEVER, use sites to update driver on the internet. They are virtually all the two sources of infection and/or updates bad and bad.
