Team Fortress 2 only supports DirectX 9.0c, Just because you have
DirectX 10, doesn't mean the game runs in DirectX 10.
3 things you need for DirectX 10 games.
1. A DirectX 10 compatible Video Card (nVidia 8x00 series or ATi HD
card)
2. Windows Vista
3. A game that uses DirectX 10.
Some examples I can think of off the top of my head...
Bioshock (with patch)
Crysis
Assassin's Creed
Company of Heroes (with patch)
Lord of the Rings Online
Lost Planet
Hellgate: London
Gears of War
FSX: Acceleration (with patch)
FarCry 2
World in Conflict
Guild Wars 2

Notice I didn't mention any Steam Games in that list.
There is a commandline you can add to TF2 to change your DirectX Level,
but your only options are "-dxlevel 90" for 9.0c, or "-dxlevel 81" for
8.1, but you usually only use the line if you're having problems.
I don't know what games are failing to load for you, but I would suggest
checking with the game maker for updates, run DXWEBSETUP.EXE to make
sure you have the latest DirectX files installed (you can get from
http://www.microsoft.com/Directx). Reply here with the game and error
messages you are receiving.
