Vista - Dx10 issue

I was informed by the developers over at Flagship Studios that I may have a corrupt install of DX10 on my system. I went to reinstall DX10 but it tells me that I have the most up to date version and aborts the install.

Does anyone know a way I can reinstall DX10?



Also, I would like to try intalling DX9c to see if it helps any. Can someone link me to wich download I should use for this?

I thought that DX10 was inbuilt in Vista and that there was no standalone installer for it? Am I wrong? Am hitting the ms download website to see if theres any standalone installer for DX10.

Link to DirectX9.0c:

See if that fixes your issues. It may not be a corrupt DX10 install (well,
it shouldn't be).

That's what they all say because they don't actually know what the problem
is. I'm surprised they didn't tell you to defrag your HDD to fix the
problem. Run chkdsk and look at the report it generates, it will tell you
if you had any corrupted files.

Thanks for the replies people. This gives me some stuff to go on for now. The game is Hellgate by the way.

They believe that the DX10 engine failure is in effect because I am missing graphics in DX10 that are present in the DX9 engine. Here is the original inquiry.

I actually havent tried an uninstall / reinstall yet . Ill write back after the reinstall and defrag and all that.

That's an easy fix. Just download DXwebsetup from Microsoft and run that
while connected to the internet.

Actually, this is the response that Tech Support gives when they don't
know the answer to your inquiry.

I used to work in Cust Support for EA, Back in the EARLY days of
DirectX, we used to get tons of people calling saying, "well Gateway
said that DirectX was the problem and it didn't work", when basically
DirectX is either installed, or it's not installed. There really is no,
"working or not working", It was usually the video drivers or crappy
hardware that had no chance of running a 3D game.

Ah, good times. I miss my Voodoo2's

To answer the question that has been answered, you can't mess up DirectX
10, there's really no way to uninstall it unless you've been deleting
files from c:\windows\system32, and most people I talk to don't do that.

If you did, then Vista should stop working because Aero uses DirectX as
I understand it. /shrug Probably wrong.

This link has been around for nearly a decade now, it should eventually
take you to an application called "dxwebsetup.exe"

Running this application on your system installs and checks all versions
of DirectX for Vista or Windows XP/2K, and if it says, "all directx OK",
then it's all OK.

There's really no way to "corrupt" directX unless your Hard drive is
failing and causing files to be corrupted, but that's unusual because
even failing hard drives won't change files unless they are being
written, and the only time you should write or modify DirectX files is
when installing Vista or running DXWebSetup.

So, long story short. I have no idea what's going on. Update drivers,
post system specs, call it a day.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! (OK, I spilled a cup of coffee in my lap, i'm
pissy, sorry.)

I can assume from your description that you are reffering to Hellgate:London,
This is a known issue with Hellgate and not a Direct10 corruption issue, If
you are running an ATI card the drivers from 8.5 upwards appear to have
resolved this. If NVIDIA then again I suggest latest drivers. There is also
an issue when Anistropic filtering is turned on that corrupts the graphics on
this game. Many users have had the same issue. When i update my graphics
drivers this stopped happening for me
