 | Member with 57 posts. | | | | Reinstalling Direct X Ok, so originally I wanted to play an EA game, NFS: Most Wanted, It said that I hadn't had Directx installed.
So I went to a whole bunch of forums and ended up uninstalling Directx itself fully and deleting the regedit registry.
Now whenever I try to reinstall Direct X with my Geforce 6200 Disk it skips the whole process - doesn't even show "loading bar" - to: "The components Are Installed And Ready For Use".
Which it is not, obviously.
When I try to use the March2009 Redist it says: "An Internal System Error Has Occured..."
Same thing when I try to use the dxwebsetup.
And when i try to run "Dxdiag" from "Run" it says "Windows Cannot Find Dxdiag"
Please I don't have the Windows XP Installation disk is there anything I can do, I even tried reinstalling DirectX 8.1.
If anybody could give me some information it would be well appreciated. | | Moderator with 36,830 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Vermont | | Restore your registry backups. You made some, right?
If not, the only thing you can do is reinstall Windows from scratch if you don't have a restore point with a valid registry included. A repair installation would probably not work, so you would need to format and start fresh. No one can help without knowing specifically what you did in the registry. It is not a good place to experiment.

Now When I do it, it says that I already have a new version but when I do dxdiag still does the same thing. Maybe a simple restart should work. | | Senior Member with 232 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Experience: Advanced in some areas | | DirectX is automatically installed with Windows. You don't have a choice, as far as I know. You may be able to "hack" it, but if you don't do so correctly, you'll have a messed-up part of Windows. Don't try to uninstall, delete, or downgrade DirectX, only upgrade to later versions, unless you know what you're doing. If you have a version of Windows that a game doesn't recognize or that it isn't designed for, it will also likely not recognize the DirectX version, and act like you don't have DirectX or that you have an outdated version. | | Senior Member with 248 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Ontario, Canada Experience: Advanced | | To install Directx you need to download dxwebsetup. It'll update everything to the latest you can't just download the Redist. Here is the link to it you need to validate windows before you download it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
