Gabriel85 Posted June 20, 2013 ID:693519 Share Posted June 20, 2013 http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=127830&hl= ^^^ Above was my original post that AdvancedSetup tried to help me with. i think this is a messed up DX file somewhere but i cannot seem to update it. i checked what this error means and a bunch of places suggest either wiping with a fresh win 7 install (i CANNOT afford to do this) or doing a win 7 repair. has anyone dealt with this before? thoughts?

David H. Lipman Posted June 20, 2013 ID:693526 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Why can't you re-install Win7 ? Have you looked at your video drivers and associated video card software ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted June 22, 2013 ID:694380 Share Posted June 22, 2013 If you've not done so already, you might try running the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer. I've had some pretty messed up DirectX installations/issues (usually due to a game installing an old version etc.) and had that fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H. Lipman Posted June 22, 2013 ID:694600 Share Posted June 22, 2013 sorry. everything is updated That's not what I meant. Video is a major part if DirectX so if a video card software has faulty DirectX components then it could be a culprit. Just being updated may not mean its DirectX components are correct. Based upon your answer, can I conclude that you have NOT really looked at the Video card software and associated software in light of DirectX ?

David H. Lipman Posted June 22, 2013 ID:694608 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Test, no. Not that I am aware of. First, Right-Click on "Computer" and choose "Properties" --> system protectionFind the "Create" button and create a new System Restore break point. Give it a good name associated with what we are doing here. Then ... Then go to Control Panel --> Device Manager and identify the video card. Then go to the vendor of the computer system or to the video card manufacturer and download the latest software for the OS and that video card and save it to a "handy" location so you know where it is. If you have questions... please ask! Then in Device Manager Right-Click on the video card and choose "Uninstall". If asked, do NOT reboot. Then go to Control Panel --> Program and FeaturesFind the software for that video card and uninstall it. Then reboot the PC. Then reinstall the video card software from that "handy" location.
