  Hello

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  DirectX Diagnostic tool helps you troubleshoot issues with more DirectX multimedia technologies that come with Windows. Run the DirectX Diagnostic tool and check if that helps.

  Run the DirectX Diagnostic tool:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/run-DirectX-Diagnostic-tool

  Method 2:

  Temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

  Disable security software:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Warning: If you need to temporarily disable the security software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 3:

  Try the steps in the following Microsoft article and check if it helps.

  DirectX is installed correctly on your computer:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/256182

  And also see the following Microsoft article as well.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/977848

  If the steps did not help, then it would be better to post the same question in the Windows games forum to get help.

• How can I remove 'saved' games for Windows games?

  How can I remove already 'saved' games like Free Cell, chess, Spider Solitaire, Solitaire, hearts etc. ?

  Whenever we want to play a game that we always have to 'x' to "do you want to continue the saved game" is there a way to eliminate this option - we NEVER want to save all the games.

  Thank you.

  Just reply to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  To get rid of these saved games if you do not see this message, paste this into a file address bar, replacing "username" with your account name: C:\Users\'username'\Saved Games Games\.

  Delete all folders inside this folder.

• Games for Windows works only with "games for windows - live» Can not understand.

  So the problem I encounter is that I can't get games purchased with the headliner "Games for Windows" to work with the software "Games for windows".  No drop-down list, no information other than a market place when I opened "Games for Windows - Live.  No ability to view videos downloaded from the software, just to go to my documents to view the downloaded content.  Installed games appear in the GAMES folder and they open and can be played.

  In particular, the game I'm playing is called "Monster Madness - battle of Suburbia".  I'd love to play and get achievements for my account xbox live and others, I love the ability to have that extends from PC to the Xbox, the other game I have is bioshock.

  All advice, instructions or ideas will be appreciated.

  Thank you
