Solved: DxDiag Errors
Hi when I try and run Dxdiag I get the following series of errors. Have tried reinstalling DX and also a system restore but they haven't worked. Any help would be appreciated.



Once it finally gets into the prgram after those errors theres information missing all over the place and it freezes if i try and hit "Save Information"

Has it ever ran correctly? And what about actual programs that use DirectX?

What Vista system is this -- is it an upgrade from XP or an off the shelf system?

It sounds like you have file type mismatches.

The one mentioned, powrproff.dll in my Vista system can be found in c:\windows\system32.

Right click and select details, the version should be 6.06000.16386 -- 94.5 kb

For the other issues, try this: go to start > run: and enter:

regsvr32 dpnet.dll

You should get a message that the dll was succesfully registered. It can fix some errors with missing information.

Yes it ran without any isssues a few months ago. Also I've played quite a few different DX games with no real issues.
