How to find which version of DirectX I have in Windows 8?

    I even did a SFC scan, but it says:

    Hello

    Thank you for the update on the issue.

    Yes, you are right that if SFC scan find damaged files but could not repair so that there could be a chance that some system files are corrupt. So, I suggest you run the DISM commands and then see if it helps you to fix the corruption.

    Maintenance of the images of deployment and management (DISM) installs, uninstalls, configures, and updates features and CBS packages in Standard Windows 8 Embedded images (standard 8) offline and offline Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 4.0 images. The commands and options that are available for servicing an image depending on whether the image is offline or online. All controls operate on a standard 8 offline image. Subsets of commands are available for the maintenance of an operating system.

    I suggest you run the commands in elevated command prompt and control below if this can help.

    • Press Windows key and X at the same time.
    • Choose line (Admin) command on the shortcut menu.
    • In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth.

    This command is used to check if an image is repairable. Scan the image to check corruption. This operation may take several minutes.

    DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    This command is used to repair an image.

    Keep us updated on the issue after running DISM commands.

  • DirectX 11 problems, please Help! :)

    Hey there,

    So I bought Total War: Shogun 2 on steam and downloaded the game... When I try to play the game I get the 'First time Installation' habit that steam works for any game, but when it comes to "installation of directx for windows" it crashed my laptop. After a hard reset it now always said the same thing when I try to run the game. When I run the install, but press cancel, it will pick up my system. When I go out to start the installation, it will sit for 5-10 minutes before closing the window itself, until the installation is complete. I tried using the web installer so the update of directx 11, both directions manual extraction method lead me to the message "internal error." I'll post the Directx and DXError logs at the end. I know for a fact Shogun 2 will support directx 11 as I played the game earlier on this laptop, but I ended up doing a restore of the system on my system. This becomes increasingly more aggravating that I'm trying to fix it and none of the forum posts I found here or elsewhere on the web helped me, so im hoping that someone who reads this can. Errors in the log file are as follows:
    DirectX.log
    16/12/12 23:20:08: dxupdate: ExecuteInf(): SetupInstallFromInfSection() failed, error = 1117.

    Thanks in advance,

    My understanding is Total War: Shogun 2 need a patch to run DX11, then you have to get the game installed first.

    I would first uninstall the game, or that the installation had apparently not finished, delete all files that have been installed, including those that may be in your - user-folders My Documents or User\ App Data (it may not be here if the game has finished installing).

    To have to do a hard reset can often cause problems if you do not restart from the menu start after Windows loads again. Restart via the start menu is recommended after uninstall or make changes to the system in all cases.

    Once the game is completely uninstalled to run the Web Direct X installation program or, as there may be a corrupted the DX file, run the Direct X Redistrubitable (June 2010) again because this will overwrite all of the Direct X files (Web Installer does not overwrite existing files). If there is still a problem safe mode installation-
    Press F8 (with most systems) during startup to access boot options.
    While you mentioned using the two options of installation/update DX I'll let links anyway, for others
    who can read it.

    Download details: DirectX end-user performance

    Download details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010)

    Once the DX is sorted reinstall the game, but if it gives an option to install DX
    do not let the game to install DX-
    The error mentions a specific file - "D3DX9_37_x86.inf: [x64_install]." The file may be damaged. »
    Assuming that it is in the installer of the DX of games, it seems that the installer is corrupt (or the disc is scratched, etc.), so if you cannot stop the game to try to install DirectX you are between a rock...

  • I can't read the FF27 mp3 files and I tried some help I can find.

    When I try to play an MP3 in FF27 I get a black screen that says:

    "The video cannot be read because the file is corrupted.

    The web console shows this:

    From 26 of Firefox, Firefox on Windows XP will attempt to play media encoded MPEG as MP3s natively in the browser. This requires that the necessary components in your system, but they are perhaps not? To turn off the native player and return to the use of a plugin like Windows Media Player or QuickTime for this kind of media, you can make a change to the configuration under the covers. Here's how:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference media.directshow.enabled from true to false.

    I don't know if this changes enter into force immediately or after you exit and then restart Firefox.

    Note to other readers: Windows XP uses DirectShow (DirectX). Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 uses Media Foundation to play natively coded MPEG media. It's a different setting.
