I'm on a trip out of town to see family this weekend, I won't be back until Sunday. I know I have DX11 installed, so I don't understand why it wouldn't work. Either way, thank you for the reply. When I get home I'll try troubleshooting with the direct x installation and I'll get back to you.
DX11 and DX9 are two different things, so for older games you need have DX9 being installed as well.
