Greetings,

I had Vista 64 and now upgraded to Windows 7 64bit.  80% of my games crash on load.

As other I have googled the shiznit out of this, it seems most people crash some time into a game, I crash without the thing loading at all.

My setup.

Processor Information:

Asus Striker II Extreme motherboard

    Windows 7 (64 bit)

Video Card:

    DirectX Driver Version:  8.17.11.9562

    DirectX Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+

    Number of Monitors:  2

These games run off Steam mainly but also games not in steam crash.

    Having DX 10 or DX 11 is irrelevant to the needs of games running DX 9 components. If you are still having issues with any *d3d9* files, the best idea would be to run the DX setup that came with the install of the game. This would either be off the disk or in the case of Steam in the common game files. By default it would like like this,

    32 Bit - %install drive%:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common%game name%

    64 Bit - %install drive%:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common%game name%

    Under which would be a directory for DX. You will have to manualy navigate to the directory and run it, manualy that is. The install will be in that directory and have any and all files that are needed to run the game. This should fix any issue you are having, well in regards to DX that is.

    Hope that helps.
