Nagesh answers:
Use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to determine the version of DirectX that is installed on your computer, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type dxdiag, and then click OK.
3. On the System tab, note the version of DirectX displayed on the DirectX Version line.
4. On the DirectX Files tab, check the version information for each DirectX file.
5. When you are finished checking file versions, click Exit.
If Windows cannot find the dxdiag program, DirectX version 5.0 or earlier is installed on your computer. If this is the case, download and install the current version of DirectX.
To download the latest version fo DirectX, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx
After you download and install the latest version of DirectX, you should also visit the following Microsoft Windows Update Web site to see if DirectX updates are available:

Warcraft 3 Reign of chaos-Directx?
I have Directx10 but when i play a game, it says i need to download directx 8.1 or higher. so i did. again. but then when i tried again, it still says i need to download it. how do i fix this?
Nagesh answers:
Directx 10 is supported by vista and all lower than that is compatble with xp. You will have to unistall the directx 10 drivers and install driectx 9.1 for it to work because it is such an old game!!! And if you have problems with directx 9 rollback drivers to directx 10!

how does directx 10 work for halo 2 pc?
i download it one day,but i don’t know how to use it for halo 2.
does it improve grahipcs on the game?
Nagesh answers:
DirectX 10 is a feature in Vista (and only in Vista- all games running under XP are limited to DirectX 9). It makes some effects like smoke & water animations look better.

Of course this requires a video card with DirectX 10 hardware support. Nvidia’s Geforce series 8 and later cards support Direct 10. On the ATI Radeon side, the HD2400 and later support DirectX 10.

I was told to update to DirectX9.0c higher, and i went in to microsoft.com to look for the LATEST DirectX, and i end up with this DirectX End-User which stated that it’ll updates DX9.0c and give better gaming performance.After installing,things work badly.i tried to install some old games eg The Godfather, but it pop up a window asking me to update my DirectX to at least 9.0c or higher.Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my DirectX?or is it my previous installation of DirectX from Microsoft is a fake?or unsuitable?Im using XP by the way,with GeForce 8600 GT
I did try to install the DirectX from the game disc, and i’ve also run the “dxdiag” and it stated that my DirectX IS 9.0c, everything running good from the results.But when i try installing the game again,same thing happen,a window pop up asking me to get the latest DirectX in order for the game to continue installation.WHY?WHY?Pls HELP…
Nagesh answers:
Make sure your DirectX is working correctly. In the Start menu, click Run and type “dxdiag” (no quotes) in the text field and click OK. After the diagnostic runs, make sure on the General tab that the correct version of DirectX is installed (9.0c) and on the Display tab make sure the DirectX features are enabled. If you still have problems, check the support sites for your games (and the typical problems like device driver errors, Windows updates, etc.).
Also, in regards to DirectX 10: it is only available on Windows Vista.
