So lately my WinXP has just suddenly been having issues with DirectX, games saying I need 'this' DirectX or higher, yet DxDiag claims I have already DirectX 9.0c... It started this just on Christmas Eve... Nothing's working, reinstalls/restarts. Anyone out there have any suggestions or ideas? Example game, EverQuest 2 from Sony/SoE, which the day before was just fine even. didn't touch any settings then. Other games: Command & Conquer the first decade, EA...
I'd love to play my old games again, Mass Effect even - the first one; I know played fine before.
Dark Reign 2, kind of an C&C/RTS game, which I'd like to try out the campaign-story mode. But its saying "Can't start hardware accelerated DirectX 7.0a"...

What about restoring Windows to an earlier time? Windows makes a restore point automatically, but you are given some options. Of course do not restore it if you have just installed lots of things, but sometimes it can resolve a problem.
You can just shift back to your current installation if it does not work? I have not done this with Windows XP for quite some years, but maybe someone out there knows what´s affected?
