What directx

Hello.. .i am a user of windows 7 64 bit... And I have the 8800gt (xfx) xxx alpha dog...

My question is, which version of DirectX I have in my pc? For old games?

Can direct x help me with movies, to see more smoothly?

For older games you need DirectX 9 (you currently have DirectX 11 integrated in Win7) but you can install 9 so: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

No, it will not help you with movies.  To ensure that you have updated the graphics card drivers.

    How can I switch to directX 9? I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, and I want to spend to dx9-dx11... or how I can remove directx 11 properly and then install directx 9?

    Windows does not run under DirectX

    Game developers decide what DirectX, the game uses, if the developer of the game makes the game DirectX 11, you can't run it without installing DirectX 11

  • Corel PaintShop Pro installs directx config then X 3 installation stops

    After taking 4 hours for the wizard to install the files, the installation program starts and runs until what directx config displays when the installation ends.

    SOLVED! I went through this same problem. The problem is that Corel Paint Shop Pro installation tries to run the version of DirectX 2007 right off the bat during the installation process and it will fail to install because it is in conflict with the new version of DirectX that comes with Windows 7. Corel's marketing hype said their programs are compatible Windows 7. How DirectX is now integrated into the operating system, why in the world would they attempt to install an older version of DirectX? Compatible with Windows 7? I don't think so!

    HOW TO FIX:
    (1) run the installer as usual.

    (2) for the configuration of the installation, the installer will extract a ton of files in a temporary folder named c:\users\yourname\appdata\local\Corel Paint Shop Photo Pro\1.1.5.001. It comes to the actual installation of Paint Shop Pro extracted. I don't know the exact name of the folder, but just look in your account in c:\users\yourname\appdata\local folder, and you'll see a newly created Corel folder. CAVEAT! If you quit the Setup program, it will automatically delete this entire folder structure, so don't hit the button 'FINISH' until you complete the following steps!

    (3) when the Corel dialog ask accept you the contract of license, open Windows Explorer and copy the installation Corel since \users\yourname\appdata\local to somewhere else, directory structure such as your desktop. This will ensure that the files are not deleted, and you can go run setup.exe as many times as you want.

    (4) now you can fill or kill the original installation of Corel Paint Shop program still running on your PC. After she fails and you press the button COMPLETE, it will automatically delete the folders that it created under c:\users\yourname\appdata\local.

    (5) access to your new COPY of the installation Corel folder, drill down to the 1.1.5.001 which is a subfolder and edit the file setup.xml with a text editor. About six lines down from the top, you will see the XML key for the installation of DirectX code (contained in square brackets). REMOVE the line that refers to DirectX, then save the file. You can save the XML with a new name, rename the file setup.xml original setup - orig.xml, then rename the new version in the setup.xml file.

    (6) run the program setup.exe and watch with glee the installation process is done correctly!

  • DirectX set up Fail

    Hello

    I just download Steam so that my son can play some games available out there. We paid and downloaded Garry mods. When you click on the game, he advises that our version of DirectX is up to date and we need to download the latest version. We are directed to the Windows download site and click on the download of the latest version of DirectX and go through the download and install process. A few seconds of starting the installation process, the following error comes up "DirectX implemented - an internal system error has occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine the problem. »

    When I look into the proposed folder and find the logs, they are just text boxes full of script... no helps for me at all as I am a simple PC user, not a technician!

    Can anyone help? My little boy has spent his pocket money for a game, that he can not use!

    Thank you very much.

    I don't know what DirectX installer you are trying to use it, but there are two

    versions.

    -The Installer Web DirectX is best used on machines with a new installation of Windows, or a

    who has ever updated DirectX update. It was not all 'new' files DX since 2010, so

    It is generally not useful if DX was previously updated.

    (Garry mods using one of the latest DX9 - d3dx9_40.dll, which does not install with Win7)

    The Web Installer will install DirectX "missing" files, but does not overwrite existing files.

    Download DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer from the official Microsoft Download Center

    -The installation package from DirectX Redist (June 2010) is the best option, if there is no corrupted DirectX file, as this installed replaces all DirectX files.

    -This installer first "unpacks" the DirectX files to a location of your choice (you can create a new

    folder on the desktop and unzip to there, because this folder can be removed after the installation of DX).

    -Once the files are decompressed you should open the folder and find the DXSETUP.exe and

    Run the installation from there.

    -If you still get an error...

    R / the DXSETUP.exe-click and go to Properties.

    Click on the compatibility tab and check the box "run as administrator"

    (this can happen if you use Windows from a user account no with limited administrator "permissions").

    -Try reinstalling the DXSETUP.exe.

    -I suggest to restart the machine after you reinstall DirectX.

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

    -If you continue to get the error messages when you try to install DirectX components using Redistributable (June 2010)

    You may try to install in safemode.

    Safe mode is usually accessible by pressing F8 during Windows startup.

    -If you have a problem accessing Mode type safe - Safe Mode - help and support on your

    Start menu for more detailed instructions.

    It can also help to "verify the game cache. This is done for your Steam account.

    -Go to your steam library and R / click on the game title. Then click on Properties.

    -Click the local files tab, and then select check the integrity of game Cache. This may take

    a few minutes for steam verify game files are not corrupt.

    -Also see the Steam support pages, if you have not already.

    BTW - you said 'little boy '. This game looks more like a Toolbox of modding where you make your own fun than a "script" game and has a somewhat steep learning curve, so I hope not too small and young.

  • What does that mean? -This problem occurred because your graphics card does not support the required version of DirectX. This version of Windows requires a DirectX 9.0 compatible video card or newer.

    I tried viewing a presentation power point and got to page 2 and my computer crashed.  Thought on... what he did previously trying to display a PPP file, but I thought that it was not my computer to the actual file.  now I have my doubts and also this time an error message came that said... This problem occurred because your graphics card does not support the required version of DirectX. This version of Windows requires a DirectX 9.0 compatible video card or newer.  can someone tell me what I should do next?

    You left out which version of DirectX has been shown.

    As far as I know, your Intel 945GM should support DirectX 9 and because you have XP sp3, you must have at least DirectX 9 installed.

    I met the following, but it shouldn't apply to Powerpoint:

    Some such as the Intel 945 GM Intel video cards have a design limitation which may cause problems when you try to run the Source Engine games. 3D graphics kernel does not support transformation of material, light and the vertex shader to similar technologies, which is an important part of the pipeline of 3D acceleration. Instead, this functionality is emulated in software that can reduce the compatibility and performance with 3D games.

    I don't have a solution for you (assuming that DXDIAG, in fact, reports to have DirectX 9 or higher).  You can see if you install a new driver support, but if it were me, I would be first contact Acer technical support or ask your question in another forum as one of the following conditions:

    Intel graphics Forum: http://communities.intel.com/community/tech/graphics
    Forum PowerPoint: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/powerpoint (select the corresponding forum for your version of Powerpoint).  Include the results of DxDiag, including the version of DirectX.  If there is something unusual about the image that causes the crash, include this info as well.

    Normally, for notebook/laptop computer, it is better to get the drivers of the mfr of computer rather than the manufacturer of the device.

    Acer drivers for your computer are here: http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=535 (you want the Intel VGA for XP driver)

    Intel has a newer driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Internet+Devices&ProductLine=Netbooks&ProductProduct=Mobile+Intel%C2%AE+945GM+Express+Chipset+Family

    Hello

    This could very well be in this case. Please tell us the brand and model of your computer.
    What you want to do is to visit the support site for the one who makes your computer (Dell, HP, Sony, etc.) and download the drivers for your video card updated.
    Because looks like it's only a question when you play, I'll move this thread on the forums of game here on the responses. However, I believe that the solution to the problem will be to update the drivers.
    I hope this helps. Just reply to the results.

    Hello world!!!

    Anyone know what is the level of DirectX (or function) of the HP Jet 7 Tablet? I've looked everywhere and there is no information about it.

    Hi ditnc

    DirectX 10 features advanced 3D graphic rendering capabilities and helps improve your computer's performance in the high-end 3D applications and games.

    Offering a standard 3D development platform for Windows PC, it also provides software developers access to powerful hardware features without having to write hardware-specific code. For players and video fans, that translates into reliable, best performing graphics when you play games on your PC.

    Download the latest version of DirectX here.

  • What version of directx do I really short?

    I would like to run the latest version of directx, but I get the variable information. When I check my Intel display properties, it says that I am under the version of directx 10. When I check the dxdiag, it says I'm under directx 11 version. Who is the real version? Should not be the same?

    I'm assuming that your machine uses the older Intel GMA graphics, which was a chip on the motherboard.

    The new graphics Intel HD is integrated into the cpu and is much more capable (especially HD4000 and higher).

    There are a number of recent games which can be limited to DX10 or 11, but these are a little

    rare (Just Cause 2 is only DX10). These games (commonly known as AAA securities) have high demands.

    and your Intel graphics card would struggle to operate at all, even using only DX9.

    The vast majority of games that use DX 10 and 11 would be using DX9 by default. DX10 or 11 effects are options selected in the games setting menus. The only way to implement the DX10/11 effects without running the game in

    a slideshow would be to lower the other most important graphics settings.

    I say more important because the DX10/11 effects are more icing on the cake - more agreeable, smoke and similar light

    subtle effects.

    -There is no way to upgrade all of the graphics (dedicated card or built-in) to higher levels of DX, and

    There is no way to upgrade integrated graphics chipsets. They are mounted to the motherboard.

    If it is a PC, you should be able to install a dedicated graphics card, but the power supply must be

    powerful enough. The age and capacity of other components must be taken into account.

    Laptops - no hope.
