    How exactly do we check what version we currently have?

    edit: When I try to install it it says that "DX has confirmed that a newer or equivelant version has been installed already" but if this one is only from 2 days ago I didn't install it...

    Maybe you installed a very new game that would come with it already?

    I run that installer about once a month or when a game has issues, and realize there's been an update.

    I haven't installed any new games... I haven't even had the computer on. I have no idea how that's possible?
