  Yes, this was removed as of the April 2005 Update.

  Turns out it was my video card.  Didn't support dx.  Tried it on another machine and it works.  =)

  The only redist that will help you is the one from June 2005.  The link you provide above should install the appropriate Managed DirectX assemblies.  What version of the .NET runtime is installed on the machines with the problem

  Actually, if you have the .NET framework installed (1.1 or higher) the managed components will automatically install.  If you install the DirectX SDK _before_ installing the CLR, you will need to re-run the SDK install again to get the managed components.

  you installed the right runtime on your laptop as you developed your app in
  did you check the runtime version (start/run/dxdiag)
  also check to see if any of the sdk directDraw samples run on your laptop

I have set all DirectX references in Visual Studio.net 2003 to be Copy Local so all the DirectX files that are in use are located at the same directory as the application file. If i have understood this correctly this would make the application use the Dlls from the application directory. I have also tried without this configuration. I have also tried to install a couple of different DirectX runtimes downloaded from Microsoft. And I have made sure that the Managed DirectX files have been installed (some releases dont install this as default). On the test computer I have Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed. I have also tried the Application on other computers that I don’t know the exact configuration on. I can also mention that the first stage in the application works fine. That part only uses Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D and Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  If you're still having problems, this might help:
  
  When installing DirectX 9c, it doesn't by default install the managed DirectX components, you need to install it with the /installmanageddx flag - from the command line you'd type:
  dxsetup /installmanageddx
  
  This should install the required libraries for managed DirectX apps.
  
  Hope that helps.

  these are great ideas and I am going to try them later today and post an update on whats going on.  Another thing I am going to try is running this on a computer that has vs.net but no dx sdk.  The reason being: if this error comes up on that computer, then, vs.net will run as a debugger and direct me more specifically to what the problem is. 
  
  Thanks smacker for the idea and for priming me to have my own idea as well =)

  Today I got access to a band new computer that i can use as a test computer. I have a fresh install of Windows XP Pro with SP2.
  
  I have installed .NET Framework 1.1 and directx (the one from the link i posted erlier).
  
  I have the same error as before. I have also made a very simple direcx application just to test and still I get this error.
  
  I have run dxdiag to compare the files and all Managed directx files are there with the same version except that I have two Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll files on my computer with different versions. But the testapplication I made don’t use Direct3DX so this can’t be the problem.
  
  Any suggestions what I should try next to get my applications to work on other computers < xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
