I could post a diag here if you like, just want to make sure it's not something bad picked up from that online game.

I used that Microsoft link to update Direct X, still had the error.

So I remove all old Java and Microsoft Frame net from pc.

Then reinstall direct X

Then add the Microsft frame net

Is that it ?:smileyindifferent:

When i try to install direct X to the link it saids, please type the location where you

want to place the extracted files.

but the error message in dxdiag is gone, should i make a new location for direct x or just reinstall without updating direct x since i went back to intel gma 900 for a bit that was on my pc first.

I fixed it I posted on another forum some where else apart from Dell's and got it repaired.
I must of downloaded a bad copy from Microsoft web site, In future I will stick to Windows Update.

Here is how you can do it.

Left-click Start
Left-click Run
type "REGEDIT" without the quotes and then hit ok or press ENTER
go to the following key location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX\Mana gedDirectXVersion

As you navigate through the Registry editor, each of the parts above are essentially what look like subfolders, as if you were in Windows Explorer. This is the registry though.

In any case, when you get to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX \" look for the "ManagedDirectXVersion" folder. If "ManagedDirectXVersion" exists, delete it.

Do not delete anything else but the ManagedDirectXVersion folder.
