PC Game DirectX® Troubleshooting/FAQs
Make sure Direct X is running as it should be and that your are running the correct version for the game you are trying to play.  To determine this, check the packaging (back of the game box) or review the minimum system requirements article for the title you are playing:
  1. Goto Start, then Run.
  2. In the Open box, type 'dxdiag', then click ok.
  3. If you are prompted by a question, choose Yes, otherwise click the Save All Information button.
  4. Save the file to your desktop and open it in Notepad.
  5. Under Dxdiag Notes, ensure there are No Problems Found for each category.
  6. If a problem is noted here, or you are using an older version than the game requires, try reinstalling DirectX® from www.microsoft.com/directx
All of the above are frequently encountered fixes for common PC game Direct X issues.  If you need further assistance please open a support incident by visiting the Ask a Question page and entering a new support ticket, or you may reopen a previous ticket by visiting My Past Questions.  At the bottom of the question section you will see three "Browse" buttons.  Please use these buttons to locate and attach your error report, dxdiag, or screen shots, etc. to your incident.
