Issue:

I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium yesterday due to an issue I had where I had to replace my motherboard for a slightly newer model. All of that went smooth, but after trying to play a Steam game just tonight (let a bunch reinstall over night because I don't back up the common folder), it just crashed on startup. Tried to play Rocket League but I keep having to ctrl alt dlt to close it and it says not responding Rocket League 32-bit DX9.

Already uninstalled and reinstalled the GPU drivers... made sure I had all Windows updates. But the weird issue is, Rocket League works from starting it from the executable all the way in the Program Files folders...

When I try to run a DXDIAG, I get this error: "DxDiag has detected that there might have been a problem accessing DirectShow the last time this program was used. Would you like to bypass DirectShow this time?"

Hitting No does nothing, hitting Yes also does nothing. Either way I'm able to look in the dxdiag (it does not crash).

PLEASE HELP. I do not want to reinstall Windows again, what the hell could have caused this and what is the fix?


Update: Battleborn also works from it's .exe but not Steam launcher

Check if you have service pack in computer>propertys. Left click on computer in the start menu to select propertys. You should see windows 7 sevice pack. If it just has windows 7 you will have to down the service pack and install manually.
