Hi Michael,

If you click Start / Run and type: dxdiag
What version of DirectX does it show as installed?

I am having the same problem as you all.

I am using Windows 7 with an 8800gts by nVidia.

You can find a copy of my dxdiag here: http://www.saiori.net/DxDiag.txt.

Any thoughts would be extremely helpful. I've tried all of the following:

Re-install both games (4 times now), from both my disks and digital download from battle.net
Verify that I have the latest version of DX (11)
Verify I have the newest drivers from nvidia.

Thanks again for any input you might have for me.

Jacob
