Downloaded the demo to Cube world to test if the full version would work and I get this error message: Could not initialize direct3D. Please make sure the latest DirectX end-User Run-time is installed: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

I have gone to the link and did the update and have also updated my drivers. Still nothing. I have been able to play other games that use Direct X which is what I find weird.

Is there a way to reset or to re-dowload this program because at the moment when I update it just tells me that my version is up to date and is working just fine.

Thanks

Ok it seem to be a problem with DirectX itself. I was playing Saints Row a few days ago just fine, yesterday I tried Cube world and now DirectX is making SR3 crash as well. Still dont know what is wrong.

My next option is do reformat but I would want to evoid that because it is a big hassle to back up all my stuff.
