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.

  • 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

  • I have version 3.6.23 on a desktip PC. When I "check for updates", I get a message that there are no updates available. What version should I do and how do I get it?

    I tried to use a tool of shmetsy.com for Etsy. I couldn't use it because of my version of Firefox - 3.6.23
    I went 'On Mozilla Firefox' to check the updates and got the message "there is no update available"

    I don't know what versions of Firefox work with Shmetsy. They have a page system requirements? It is not in the very short FAQ...

    You have later in the line of 3.6.

    If you want Firefox 7, go to http://www.mozilla.org/firefox to get the installation program.

    Normally, the major updates go without a hitch, but just in case, I recommend to backup your Firefox settings to cover you in the rare case that something is not going. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

  • How can I find what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod.

    My computer with the installed iTunes died. I tried to load iTunes in my new computer, and then use it with my iPod and I get the error message that another version of iTunes has been used to record music on my iPod.  The new iTunes wants to erase everything on my iPod and start over.   Is the only place in all the songs I have on my iPod so I don't want to erase it and start over. I need to know what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod, the last time that I've updated so that I can download the version of iTunes and my iPod allows to recover all my songs in iTunes.   In turn if there is a way that I can download all my iPod songs in a folder on the computer and then reload them in iTunes.

    That is to say that a different library was used. The version is not really relevant. If your old computer and new were both running the same version you'd still see the same message unless you have migrated your library or restored a backup. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device.

  • Windows Storage: what version of windows and updated to reflect later

    Hello

    I am very new to Windows storage space. I have a few questions:

    1. what version of Windows is the best (only for storage purposes): 8.1 Windows Client, Windows Server R2 Windows Server 2012 Essentials 2012?

    2. in the scenario that I have only 1 HDD now for this. My ultimate goal is to have a mirror put in place when I could buy another drive. Is it possible to go game now and add another disk to mirror later? Do I have to re - format the drive being installed with the new disk mirrored do? Any instructions somewhere?

    Thank you

    Bao.

    This system, which is used for?  Business with several users who connect or personal?

    That would certainly answer your questions...

    Personally, I still hope an array of material on all the rest.  Just as software RAID could you create a mirror RAID with through previous editions of products 'professional or better' Windows - space storage is always based software. ;-)

    With the help of Google:
    https://www.Google.com/search?q=use+storage+spaces+to+create+mirror

    Probably, that's what you're looking for (according to ISO how you asked, etc.):

    http://www.howtogeek.com/109380/how-to-use-Windows-8s-storage-spaces-to-mirror-combine-drives/

    ... and...

    http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-8/create-RAID-like-data-backup-using-storage-spaces-Windows-8/

    Not to complicate things.  It is really as easy as adding the physical drive and selecting the one-way glass, given what you have so far.

    Of course - backups should always be verified (image of the system if possible) before doing anything.  While you might lose data by READING this for various reasons - you increase the risk when you start to play with the data in real time.  ;-)

  • "This version of directx is not compatible with the installed version of windows."

    I am running directx11. I understand that Windows 7 comes with it and that directx11 are not all components from previous versions of directx, what makes certain games unplayable.

    Im having this problem with my game: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistagaming/thread/f31308d2-3165-47c8-9dc8-61a89ac926a7 and I think it's a problem with directx.

    However, when I visit this link for updating my directX, I get the following error: "this version of directx is not compatible with the installed version of windows."

    I have a copy of legitimate Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, I received from my school. Any ideas anyone?

  • Cannot load games 'Titanic', 'Travel' - no message just a flicker on the screen, then the game stops. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d.

    I have win7, Windows Home premium 64-bit on an HP Pavilion Elite I - 7 core intel and Gateway screen (fx2300). After the last update for windows and ATI, I had problems to read my games - some don't is not loading, some give me access violations, others do not go full-screen. Oh, now I can no longer adjust the resolution of my screen for anything other than the highest or lowest values acceptable (everthing in between is blocked).  I have supported the ATI update several times, but it takes to watch TV in hd. I worked with HP to install and reinstall the ATI update and update of the last window. Whenever errors are different on my games. Initially, they were access violations and some games would not work, I have the update and reinstall it and other games would get the access violation? Now I can't load games 'Titanic', 'Travel', 'Nancy Drew - lights camera curses'. -No message, just a flickering on the screen, then the game ends. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d. I have directx 11. All my games worked at the beginning of April. .  I have directx 11.

    First thing to do would be to check the compatibility of the individual games that you are trying to play the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    Here is the link:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Then, DO NOT ever update the drivers through Windows Update. Always install the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Is your Windows 7 install an upgrade of Windows Vista?

    Titanic, travel, etc. - are these games, bigfish, BTW?

    If so, contact them.

    I feel ultimately that your user account may have got corrupted somehow.

    Create a new user account and check if you can play the games there.

    If so, fix the damaged user account.

  • MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE?

    MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE? PLEASE HELP ME

    Read this: upgrade Windows 10 Dell Latitude D610

    Take a look at my answer, complete instructions.

    Basically speaking, Dell officially supports Windows 2000 and Windows XP on Dell Latitude D610 (and other models of Dx10).

    However it can really run Windows Vista and 7 at least, as long as you max out the RAM (2 GB, 2 x 1 GB, can be purchased at a great price in eBay) and install the drivers, in particular graphics drivers, look in Device Manager and see what drivers are needed manually.

    If you're lucky to have a D610 with ATi graphics card then you can even run Windows 8 and 10 with all drivers available, and I can tell you that it won't be slow dog not unlike a lot of people say, I don't have something similar (a HP Compaq nx8220) in common use. Keep as lean as possible (not bloatwares, anti-virus etc.) system, and it will serve you well.
