Directx help please.

[gandorf]

I don't have Directx on my PC no more. I'm trying to download it again but I keep getting a message. It says an internal error has occurred anyone know how to fix this?

[Ramor]

Directx 10 is officially not available for Windows XP. It will not install on XP.

While unofficially it is possible to get DirectX 10 onto XP using non-official files, you do so at your own risk as Microsoft will not help you if you manage to totally hose the system.

is what I got when I googled it, might be the same problem?

[SephYuyX]

You always have Directx.
Are you downloading this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en ?
Thats what you want if youre running XP.

If youre on Vista, do a google for directx 10.

[gandorf]

I been trying to download that. I get some internal error message. I need the newest directx to play CoD beta :/

[SephYuyX]

Then you need to post the exact message, the OS your using, and the DX version youre currently running.

Start > Run > dxdiag

[gandorf]

OS: Microsoft Window XP home edition 5,1 2600 build
Direct version: Directx 9.0c
The message I get when trying to get the new one is this.
"An internal system error occurred. Please refer to dx.error.log in your windows folder to determine the problem"

I don't understand any of that.

[SephYuyX]

Do a search on your PC for the file dx.error.log and post what it says.

[gandorf]

I got search is complete. There is no result to display.

[SephYuyX]

Without that, it's too vague to give any specific answer.

One suggestion would be to 'uninstall directx' but.. it's really not possible, and methods posted on the internet that tell you to do certain things are risky and can do serious damage. Directx is an important part of the OS.

Unless you can find that file, or provide more info, your best bet is to email MS. Directx problems are free, but since it is a free, youll be getting emails from out of the country, and youll get an email once per day at best.

[SephYuyX]

Also, you may have typed dx.error.log wrong, are you sure it's dx.error.log and not dxerror.log?

[gandorf]

Also, you may have typed dx.error.log wrong, are you sure it's dx.error.log and not dxerror.log?

._. I'm and idiot. I found it.

I got some Dxerror log thing. Its just a ton of words want me to copy and paste all of it?

[SephYuyX]

I guess.

[Kiira]

try running the directx diagnostics type in the run box dxdiag

[SephYuyX]

lol, that whole thing just said 'fuck a bunch of you, i aint gonna install'

No idea, looks like a pretty big problem, id email [email protected] and hope for the best. Youre welcome to wait for someone elses opinion, but i've never seen it go that bad, and google searches bring up nothing.

[gandorf]

I tried the directx diagnostics said everything was fine. I guess I will just wait to play CoD:WaW

Thanks you for trying to help
