I can't run any games that use DirectX

Hello. Before I tell you my problem I will give you some basic information.

My other laptop broke, so now I'm currently using an old Windows Vista laptop I had. This laptop really got destroyed by a Rootkit (I have since found and deleted, has also conducted several full scans with Malwarebytes after I did, found nothing.) It was the guard scare-ware online.

Now, on to the problem. I ran before on this laptop games such as counter-strike and of Garry's Mod, but now I'm having issues running it. Messages error say a few words about hardware acceleration and others, it was graphics issues. Then I ran dxdiag and went to see, it turns out that that's what I got: http://i.imgur.com/5yp7Unq.jpg

As you can see, all my settings acceleration not available. I tried updating my DirectX but in vain. It simply doesn't get it. The red rectangle has been added by me, I believe that it is the source of the problem. Pilots can be screwed. I also recorded diagnosis of DirectX tests in a .txt file and put it in a pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/pBDDFugP please read this if you think that you can find the problem.

I could really use help on how to solve this problem. Please read and answer if you do.

To update your video drivers. Each approach has pros and cons try each.

You can;

  • In the Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) select Device Manager, go to your video card under display adapters and do a right click - Properties - drivers tab - choose put up-to-date driver (and possibly Rollback if any updated driver).
  • Use Windows Update, you choose the option to check the updates of pilot also
  • If it came with a PC, go to the web site of PC manufacturers more for those who made the web site of the component
  • Often the material is based on a specific chip and the web site of the manufacturer of the chip can have reference drivers. You can get the manufacturer of the entry in the Device Manager to the first point.
    For example, NVidia has the reference drivers for their chips to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us material

  • When I try to run a game that uses DirectX, it gives no error message or anything it either, then closes.

    When I try to run Black Ops II I double-click the icon and open the Task Manager to verify that the process is running. I see that it is running. But 30 seconds later, the process stops. Then I ran DxDiag and he says I'm under DirectX 11. However when I look for dxcpl.exe in the System32 folder, it isn't here. That's what I think, it is the origin of the problem. Please help me find a way to fix the missing DirectX file!

    I thought that the question was already answered-

    "dxcpl.exe (DirectX Control Panel) is not a default Windows file. I think that it only would be present when

    DirectX SDK developer tools are installed. "

    Therefore, there is no point in having a dxcpl.exe. It is not relevant to the running of the games.

  • Can I run a game that has been installed in a Windows version of 32-bit with a 64-bit OS?

    That's the question, please answer me.

    Very likely... :)

    Most of the games are very good with few 76. The exceptions are-

    Very old games of 16 bits (pre 2000) often have 16-bit setup programs that do not work on 64-bit.

    They can often be installed on a 32-bit and copied computer at work 64-bit and again.

    Some of the most popular games of old have new installers that are compatible with 64-bit available on fan sites.

    It is not the OS that is causing the problem with a lot of games. This is the DRM (copy protection) not not grateful

    an OS 64-bit as legitimate.
    ' 04-'06 are bad years of DRM. The older Starforce , Tages DRM are the most problematic.

    Two associated DRM issues are - unsigned drivers (Win7 64-bit not only) or - the DRM is not compatible with 64 bit.

    There are several fixes that will get most of the running games-

    -Floors has a 64 bit update available on their Web site that works for The Witcher (possibly others).
    -When a game cannot be executed because of the more zealous DRM it can very often be fixed with a 'noCD' patch

    These can come from a couple of web sites (Mega Games), but some games do not have a noCD patch available.

    If you subscribe to subscription Creative Cloud, then open the application of creative Office Cloud > go to the Apps section > search for Photoshop, if its installed, then you can open it from there and if it's not, then just install it.

  • am wanting to run an older game that uses x 86(32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit). is there a way to get windows 7 to run it. is there a download available?

    as stated above, I want to find a patch or update to run this game. is there one. ?

    What game it maybe a patch but how can say us without knowing the game?

    Have you tried Windows 7 compatibility mode to see if that helps? Try to run as a version of windows that your program runs with i.e. WXP sp3 maybe? If this does not help, try marking for "run as Administrator" as well and have a look at some of the other options it offers that they can help.

    If it still doesn't work try to install the game in compatibility mode (that is, run the installer in compatibility mode) as well as to run the game in compatibility mode.

    Is your program listed in recent compatibility, in the affirmative, as who says?

    Have you looked on the support site for the game (his publishers or factory, etc.), to see if they offer a hotfix or Windows 7 tips. Some do it.

    I understand that you would like to know if the app downloaded from Windows Store game runs on Windows 7, or Windows XP.

    The store is related to Windows 8 PC. If you wanted to play the game on another PC it will have Windows 8 on it and you will need to connect to this computer by using the Microsoft Account that was used to purchase the game.

    Hello

    Welcome.

    To resolve this problem, you must install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility as administrator. To do this, right click on the Setup file (msicuu2.exe) and choose Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    All the best!

  • I can not run any .bat and cannot open the cmd prompt

    I can't run the files .bat and most horrible thing I've ever met is a missing cmd.exe. It's starts with me trying to play Assault Cube, which must run on a .bat instead of .exe like other games. But whenever I try to open a batch file, it keeps gives an error "Windowscannot find"file to the .bat file (directory)". Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. "Each. Time.

    So, as everyone will do, they search the Internet. I would like to do is short.
    A virus? No, my laptop is clean after scanning with Malwarebytes. You have to open as an Admin? Yes, but I got an error saying "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action." Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel'.» Tried to do? Well I think that it is impossible for the command prompt to be included in the default values list. I tried open the command prompt by typing "cmd" and pressing on enter the Start Menu? So many times I've tried, but it's endless. Whenever I do this, the command prompt displays upward and 0.5 seconds later, it's farm/accidents/output by itself. Now 0.1 second.
    So, I thought on this subject and I typed in the start 'Command Prompt' Menu. When I see the icon, it's like the path or the file is missing of some sort. So I click right on the top that says "Command Prompt" and click on the option "open the file location, which made me feel weird as there should be no such thing as an option for a file that is part of the folder system32." I was directed to ' C:\Users\Acer\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories'.
    I found a shortcut to the command prompt, but I checked the file in "position to open the file", the location of the file is not displayed (opens in a new window as every time it is done). Also the guest who said when every time the .exe is missing is not indicated where we gave options to remove the .lnk. But it shows same either. If the file should be there, but it seems that the cmd is absent when I searched in system32.
    So, I'm at the blunt end to try to do things and to rely on some other cmd work and one question remains to ask with your opinion, are there links to download Microsoft cmd or is it even safe to use the another cmd PCs or by downloading?
