And the same again....

I am no techie - better ask the brains around us, but I am happy to send you this file (to copy into your Windows/system folder) if our versions do not conflict. I have version 4.8.1.881

Before you copy it into your system folder, though, I might suggest creating a system restore point just in case...

Re: All my games crash every few minutes now for some reason...

Yshania,

Looks like there are two dxdiag.exe executables.
C:\windows\system\dxdiag.exe 2004Kb rev4.08.01.0881
and
C:\Program Files\directx\setup\dxdiag.exe 280Kb rev4.06.00.0318

Since the Program Files version is not in my path it was not getting used.

Im not sure what you mean by "This is located in C:\Windows\System - it is in the DXDiag application file." since I
was talking about registry values that dxdiag reported. These registry values can be seen using regedit.

Note: Dxdiag uses HKLM for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

I always have used the DXDIAG in program files, i don't know if it makes any real difference where it is initialised from.

I am not sure how necessary the files (referred to earlier) are (don't take my word for it though :) ), it seems to me that this is a recurring problem, have you tried a BIOS update or any other similar solutions?
