If you ever need to diagnose an issue you’re having with Direct X, Windows has an app for that. – It’s not an app that you need to download however, nor does it cost any extra: It is a part of Windows; any Windows as far back as Windows 98; maybe even before that. – And yes it comes in exactly the same format in both 32 and 64-bit Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
The tool reports detailed information about the Direct X components and drivers installed on your system: I got that text from off the tool itself. 
Without further ado, then, here is a brief tutorial on how to start it up: -
- Open a command-window. —> In XP click Start>Run and type “cmd” ¬ In Windows 7 click Start and type “cmd” into the search box ¬ .
- Type “dxdiag” at the command-prompt ¬ .
That was fairly simple; ‘didn’t take a genius to complete it. Having said that, though, here comes the more difficult part: The diagnosis itself.
For further instructions with regard to using the Direct X Diagnostic Tool, please refer to any one of the articles in this Google listing.
