I'm trying to get a game to work, but it says that "DirectX is not available or turned off". I just got a new graphics card, and never had this problem with the old one. So far, I have tried everything I can find on the web, including downloading the newest driver. The DirectX control panel shows all three of the options (DirectDraw, Direct3D, and AGP Texture) are not available. It suggests checking for the newest driver, but I did that. How can I resolve this issue?

By the way i'm using XP and a Radeon R7 240 4gb card.

Which game are you trying to run?

Some games only support DX10(or 11) and up now. Depending on what game it is, it may not support DX9.

I suggest you download the DX runtime online or offline depending on the net connection you have or don't have once completed install it and i hope this should solve your DX problem.
