How to Use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool in Vista
Information
  DirectX Diagnostic Tool helps you troubleshoot issues with the DirectX suite of multimedia technologies that come with Vista. For more information and what to look for, see: Microsoft Help and How-to: Run DirectX Diagnostic Tool
Tip
  This can be handy if you're having trouble getting game animation or a movie to run properly, you should run DirectX Diagnostic Tool to see if it can help you find the source of the problem.
NOTE
  If you have the 64 bit Vista, then the DirectX Diagnostic Tool will have a extra Run 64-bit DxDiag button where the 32 bit Vista will not. It does the same thing, but for the 64 bit versions only.
