Solved Any way to reinstall DirectX?


dedq said:
The reason why I'm thinking it's DirectX is because the message I get can be provoked by it. I removed all the other factors like redistributable files which are working totally fine and doing all those kind of system scans "sfc" and "DISM" commands which don't report any kind of system violation.
It is not about the administrator permissions. Those are basically some factors which could lead to this error. I don't really know what else to try other than DirectX and the reason why I think it's provoked by it is because I get the error I have already mentioned when I try installing it. People who are on Windows 11 don't have that kind of error even when they try to install DirectX 9 for example.

Well, if it's a DirectX issue, it's not being shown by the diagnostic tool. To be honest, I'm thinking the issue is more the game than anything else; especially since the error codes points to the game(s) .exe file.

That said, I noticed you didn't address my questions about the games themselves, so....

And BTW, I'm also a gamer as I have game collections on both Steam and Origin (EA), as well as other non-game platform games, and thus far no issues. Currently playing Cyberpunk 2077, but also playing Dishonored (DX 9 game).

I have lots of problems with trying to run DirectX 9 applications.

Kodi. I didn't have luck extracting the logs of the software so their support could tell me what the exact problem is. I guess they would solve it by reading the logs therefore giving me the exact cause of the problem for other software, as well.

It happens with some games I try to play but always with those demanding DirectX 9. They don't launch or they behave unexpectedly.
I have reinstalled my graphic card drivers too. Did the malware scan. Nothing has really helped.

When I try to play "really" old games or run really old apps... I always search for how to run that app on Windows xx.
As for the DirectX 9.0c... there are download links for it, but if Dx9 won't install, Microsoft chat is probably the easiest way.


I have some old apps that I had running on Windows 10. I wasn't sure they would run on Windows 11 so I cheated.
Instead of doing a clean install of Windows 11, I performed an In-Place upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11, and chose: "Keep all programs and files".

Now, my Win 11 is exactly like my Windows 10... programs wise.



Contact - Microsoft Support

support.microsoft.com support.microsoft.com

I don't know why it says: "Office Support". Three times I chose Windows 11 support. And I get the same link when I post it. LOL

/edit

I just Googled this: "How to install Kodi on Windows 11?"

Seems they have a Kodi version for Windows 11

Hey!

I've been experiencing some very strange problems recently with DLL files and various mistakes. Reasons why those mistakes appear are redistributable files, system file corruption, video card drivers and so on.

I suspect drive failure. Prepare to replace your drive.

I cannot talk about games specifically because they don't fit into some category. They crash randomly but mostly when they require DirectX 9.
That's the reason why I think it must be DirectX.

In the same time, people running Windows 11 run the game without any problems. There are friends I have been talking about this problem who run the games without error.

That sounds Intresting actually. Will think about it.
The problem is everything works fine when I run the games on Windows 7. That's the reason why I think it cannot be hardware related.

By the way, could it be audio driver failure? I am thinking about that actually since it's not video card failure for sure.

He may actually be right from try standpoint of hardware being faulty but only if I had the same problem on other OS too I guess which I don't have.
That's something Kodi support has told me too.

If your drive was dying, you'd have all sorts of issues and you'd know it. Here you simply have issues with two apps. I hardly see where that indicates a dying drive; especially when you also provided the error codes.

This is like someone posting their monitor doesn't come on and me replying it's a dying drive. How about we first look at the monitor, cable, GPU, BIOS settings, before we automatically assume the drive :wink:

Maybe look at event viewer and see if there any new errors and warnings, longshot but might get a clue.

That's a good idea. I also think Reliability History would help as well - View Reliability History in Windows 10. You can also type "reliability history" in Search to bring it up. Still works that way in Windows 11.

Any idea where I could look for a solution potentially in Event Viewer exactly?

Thanks!

Might be time to make a fresh backup. Especially since you just reinstalled?
