If any files are actually missing, the DX Web Installer linked by Dave will install them, but there are a number of other reasons for getting DX errors. I just received this computer yesterday so I don't know a ton of the history on it. Win comes with DX9,10,11 &12 already installed. I have no idea what any of this means, and I don't know what at all to do.

module: DXWSetup(Mar 30 2011), file: psheets.cpp, line: 705, function: PreinstDlgProc module: DXWSetup(Mar 30 2011), file: dxwsetup.cpp, line: 229, function: CDXWSetup::InitInstallEngine Well the logs just give me the following every time: The error tells me that an internal system error occurred, and that I need to check the logs in my Windows folder to determine the problem. I downloaded the install file, launched it, and went through the two screens of installation, but when it actually tried to install the DirectX it would just throw me an error message and closes the install window. During the installation, however, it informed me that I did not have the correct DirectX files to complete the download, and it linked me to the Microsoft website where I could download the most recent version of DirectX. So today I was trying to download a program off the internet. Reposted from Windows 7 Support (not sure if it belonged there)
