Having DirectX 10 but get "" ERR03: failed to initialize DirectX10 "»
Hi all
First I don't know that the right section to post, if it was not, please tell me where to move it.
I have windows vista ultimate with sp1, some time ago I installed "Bio Shock" (a game for windows). during installation it asks to install DirectX 9 and I canceled the installation because vista windows have DirectX10 and it supports DirectX9 games. However when begins the game grip, the error message 'Cannot find d3d9.dll' and I went on CD of the game installed DirectX9 and everything went great.
yesterday, I installed another 'DevilMayCry4' game, this game has two executables DirectX9 Version and a version of DirectX 10. When you try to run the exe DirectX 10 I get the message "ERR03: failed to initialize the DirectX10.»
the dxdiag tool says that the DX version is 10, how ever nothing seems to work on DirectX10 even before the first game "Bioshock" who have an option to display surfaces DirectX10, but this option is disabled.
in windows > system32 > there are a ton of DirectX d3d8.dll d3d10.dll and d3dx10_xx.dll fields.
can any body please tell me what is the problem and how can I solve this problem.
Here are the specs of the system
Interface: windows vista ultimate SP1
Memory: 1.65 GB DDR2 533 FSB
Porcessor: processor intel dual core 1.83 GHz T2400
Graphics card: ATI mobility Radeon X 1600
System: Toshibe SatellitePro A164
Note: the graphics card uses the technology of memory hyber. It has a graphics memory of 256 MB built in and takes an another 256 memory system on windows XP. but on vista direct x tool diagonistics says he has a memory of approximately of 766 mb.
Thank you very much

I get a "Failed to initialize" message when I try to download the player XI
I am running windows XP SP3, after the opening of any doc pdf as my computer would lock up. I uninstalled my current version and tried to download the latest version. No mater what I tried, I would get the same message "failed to initialize." I turned off AVG, tried to use Mozilla and IE8, uninstalled Flash Player all with the same results. What else can I try?
You can try to use this tool to remove all traces of the previous versions of the player:

Hello
1. Since when are you facing this problem?
2. don't you make recent changes?
3. What is the full error message?
4. what programs you try to run?
If you upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7, once again depends on what program you use. If there is a problem with this program, you could get the same question.
If these programs are third-party programs, so I suggest to uninstall and reinstall once and check to see if the same problem happens.
Alternatively, you can also try to restore the computer to an earlier point and check if it helps:

How do update Adobe Reader 7.0 on my XP, I tried several times but keep getting 'failed to initialize' error when I try to run the installer. I tried to save it, and then execute it, and also just running it at the download prompt.
Please help, because I have trouble opening PDF files that are on web pages. I thought that maybe update would be useful
You must uninstall Reader 7 before installing the drive X. The upgrade from one version to the other often works very well, but don't not jumping over several versions.
Download Setup http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ offline to avoid this error message.
