I just finished building a new computer last week. It runs very well, and it scored a 7.8 out of 7.9 overall on the Windows User Experience Rating. The problem I am having is that I had to reinstall windows (I messed up the first installation) and now when I try to run the assessment again it always crashes on "Direct3D 10 Texture Load Assessment."
I have all the latest drivers and DirectX 11 installed. Any idea why it would do this when it did not on my previous Windows installation?
My i7 990X is currently at 4.65 GHz. I was using MSI afterburner to overclock my GPU, but I confirmed that it is not the problem. Full computer specs in my profile.
I just bought a evga 560 1gb ddr5 video card for my system. Windows 7 ultimate, 8gb ram, Intel core2 2.13ghz. I plan on upgrading this year but not too soon due to budget constraints. Anyway, I try running some of my games in directx 11 and the games say that the compatible hardware isn't found. dxdiag says I have directx 11 but the system information says I have dx10. I'm confused as to what's going on since the video card should be compatible. Even says so on the box.
I should also mention I barely updated my video card drivers and directx to the latest versions.
I recently got a copy of Warhammer Dawn of War II. The game seems to be consulting" dxdiag.exe when I adjust the graphics detail of the game.Here is the problem, dxdiag when launched insists on displaying my secondary Intel GPU. My laptop has switchable graphics, but even if I force the usage of the primary Nvidia GPU (GT540M) through the Nvidia control panel it still detects the Intel one.
I bought this computer and it has Nvidia GeForce GT540m graphics card (i thinks its optimus)but on dxdiag>display it says intel HD graphics family.. wtf?I don't know what is with it but do I not have Nvidia?PS: on some games such a skyrim and oblivion it detected my computer and said i have Nvidia gefore gt540m but I wonder why it doesn't show up on dxdiag as 540 but as intel HD
I don't know what it is but Windows 7 doesn't recognize my graphics card for some reason....... I have scanned several times for driver updates, still nothing seems to fix my problem.I don't know what causes this, dxdiag displays everything else properly as far as I know. [code]
i have win 64 running on my computer.i try and run Direct x diagnostic.i click the 64 bit button and it freezes and crashes.when i try again iget

The DirectX Diagnostics Tool incorrectly reports DirectX 11 devices as DirectX 10.1 devices on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
When you run the DirectX Diagnostics Tool (Dxdiag.exe) on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the diagnostic tool incorrectly reports a DirectX 11 device as a DirectX 10.1 device. This incorrect version information is shown in the DDI field on the Display tab. This problem is only a reporting error.
This problem does not affect the DirectX 11 hardware or software functionality of the graphics card.

IE has a system pop-up that tells the user that disabling toolbars will speed up IE. It appears at the bottom of the window. I want to know how to disable this from IE9.lsewhere in these forums are the instructions for using the Group Policy Editor to do this; but� gpedit.msc is not available in Windows 7 HomePremium edition. The post I saw says that HomePremium users have to edit the registry manually.I'm happy to do a registry edit but which entries do I have to edit and what values do I have to use, please?Other forums suggest setting the time delay to some seconds but this merely affects the time it takes for the pop-up to appear.
I've been trying for hours now to disable the alt+tab screen. I want to record a sequence of keystrokes, I want to be able to record ctrl+alt+tab, but whenever I press the keys, the alt-tab screen comes up so the buttons won't get recorded. I also have to record them in the actual order, I can't move them around so basically:
I need to be able to press ctrl+alt+tab without bringing up the swtich screen. I need to record theese keys in order. Is there something I can change, maybe in the registry?
Is it possible to change the hotkeys in windows? So that ctrl+alt+tab does nothing, and then switch it back after I've recorded the keystrokes?
Msi FX600 (MSI Europe ? Notebook - FX600) laptop has two onboard video cards - one for games, other for desktop/browsing/etc. IS it possible to disable nvidia gpu in order to save some energy. As I know, at IDLE, when I am looking at my desktop, GPU is still working at 127mhz speed. How to absolutely disable it without removing it?
Whenever i try to run a game, it says DirectX hardware acceleration is turned off.I then run dxdiag, and DirectDraw accel, 3D accel, and AGP texture acceleration are all listed as "not available" There is no button next to them to enable them.I have tried re installing DirectX, but to no avail. Also, I have tried updating my video cards, but again, no luck.
Is it safe to have 0 megabytes of virtual memory? I have 8 GB of DDR2 and i don't see why i would need virtual memory. Plus i need to save some disc space
I know I have not discovered anything new with the following problem, but I have not yet read a workable solution.
I find the "bleeps" and "bonks" most annoying when I am navigating around Windows 7, and I am well aware what it says in the personalise/sound menus. The trouble is that opting for "no sound", or switching off individual sounds does not work. I have spent many hours on this problem, to little avail.
if there is a glitsch somewhere in the system,and if there is a solution other than to turn the speakers off. This would be a bit drastic some some of the sounds are useful.
I do not like at all using my touch pad with my laptop as i have lost more stuff doing that. Typing along and it somehow highlights everything and if you aren't watching and aren't fast, the next key stroke zaps everything.So I found before on my old lap top that the fn key and the f3 key together will work as a toggle (that sometimes irritatingly toggles its own self) to turn touch pad on and off.On my new laptop I found it had a control to completely disable the touchpad which was way cool, one time, done. Now amazingly enough the control is not locatable and the touch pad is activated and the fn f3 fix does not work either.computer manufacturer says restore to default settings but I don't buy it there has to be another way as that will wipe out all my settings and more?
I have been using an Acer Aspire 7551G windows 7, and when purchased the Wifi was already enabled and has always picked up available networks.However I think I may have accidently disabled it, pressing the F3 key does not do anything so it is not lighted up or showing any available networks.
Whenever I get on the internet it freezes maybe every minute. I can still control the mouse but everything else is frozen. It stays that way for about 15 seconds and then unfreezes and I can go back to working. Nothing closes or crashes, it just freezes. I use mozilla firefox. I read somewhere that it might be add-ons crashing that make it freeze so I tried disabling all the addons but it still freezes.Should I just use IE9?
For some reason something is disabling the keyboard in windows 7 I notice the speech and on screen keyboard on start up? could that be whats disabling the keyboard?
I am having trouble with windows 7 because I am trying specific words from US English to UK English (E.G. "appearance and personalization").

Now, because of the windows checksum. It will not allot me to successfully edit it without it reversing the changes. I'm trying to teach my Windows to learn proper English. I have been trying to use WfpReplace but the server to download seems to be down. [URL]. Is there any way to do this in a more simplified way?
i play alot of music from my laptop, and everytime i close the lid my music stops and starts and plays for a bit and then stops and starts again, it happens all the time, i read in another forum that its because of the HP PROTECTSMART harddrive that helps ur drive from breaking from too much movement. now i feel its way to sensitive, anyone know how to disable it? ive tried looking it up in the control panel but im completely lost.
Is there an app, or setting, I can use to hotspot a corner to disable sleep?I sometimes have things I need to run/download overnight, and the apps aren't preventing Windows 7 from sleeping. So I need to do it manually, preferably without going thru the route of manually altering the power settings.
I ran the upgrade advisor and it said for my video card that I had to upgrade the video card. Any chance that by disabling windows aero i can skip having to upgrade my card?
Is there a way I can PERMENANTELY disable the smart pad? Every time I boot up the little darling is back up and working, I have to uninstall then re boot to stop it every single time I use the lap top.I have downloaded the latest driver, but it makes no difference. The fn9 button does not work at any time either so I do not have that option.
i am not sure if this is where my problem should go, but My friend mentioned that if i go into Control Panel, click Network and Internet, click Network and Sharing Center, click Local Area connection, properties, then uncheck internet protocol version 6 (TCP/lPv6), i could speed up the internet, but i accidently clicked the "disable" button and i don't have internet, what do i do?
Recently I dug up one of my older games that I used to love as a kid. The game was one of the first online games, and then offline games when you couldn't get online. However, I managed to make it work on windows 7, but every time I get on it will spend 5-10 minutes trying to ping the dedicated server that no longer exists.
My real question is there a way that I can make it so just that one program cannot access the web, if I can pull that off then I won't have to wait a year to play each game.
