Go to Start -> Run an enter dxdiag.exe in the Open box.

Click OK.

The DirectX version will be listed near the bottom of the System tab

Re: DirectX

 

As far as I can tell there is no such file as DirectX.exe

 

Did you try dxdiag.exe as suggested?

 

You will see the version number at the bottom of first page.

Re: DirectX

 

As Gord Dibben pointed out, there shouldn't be a file named directx.exe on your

computer. As a matter of fact, if you did find a file named directx.exe odds are

that it would be some sort of malware

 

Get back to me with answers to the following questions.

 

1. What happens when you try to run dxdiag.exe

 

2. When is Windows saying it can't find DirectX.exe? Be specific as to exactly

how you're getting this message.

It was Nepatsfan who first suggested to run dxdiag.

 

But good to hear you're sorted.
