Error intializing DirectInput

[Guest]

I have a problem running games now, i have a ati radeon
9600 and games used to work great and then one day i got
a miscellaneous error running one of my emulators: Error
intializing DirectInput
You may need to install DirectX 8.0a or higher located at
www.microsoft.com/directx

so i run: dxdiag, and find the following error:
Error: Problem getting input info, result code =
0x80004005

besides that in control panel: the game controls icon
will not open, which disables me from adding any new
controllers or configuring the ones i already have on my
compter,

any possible updates for this problem?

everything else is running fine and displaying correctly
most likly the problem is with DirectInput
