Game problem & Direct X

[Guest]

When trying to run the Direct X Diagnostic Tool, to troubleshoot a game
problem, I receive the following error message:
Dxdiag.exe-Bad Image
The application or DLL c:\windows\system32\dxdiagn.dll is not a valid
windows image.
Please check this against your installation diskette

And

DxDiag Error
Error: Could not load DXDIAGN.DLL

The file does exist in the listed folder.

Tried to download Direct X again and receive the message that the newest
version is already installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick J.

Hi Rick J.,

DirectX is built into the XP Operating System, therefore ...
Your best solution would be to repair Windows using these instructions:

How to repair Windows XP:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
