Directx diagnostic (dxdiag)

DirectX runs in the background and greatly speeds up your computer's handling of audio and visual content. You'll rarely (if ever) have to think about it unless you need to know your system specs. That's where the DirectX Diagnostic Tool comes in handy.

The DirectX Diagnostic Tool takes a snapshot of your machine and shows you what it sees. All this happens entirely within your computer and no information is reported to anyone but you.

To use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to determine the version of DirectX that is installed on your computer, follow these steps:

1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.Type dxdiag, and then click OK.
3.On the System tab, note the version of DirectX displayed on the DirectX Version line.
4.On the DirectX Files tab, check the version information for each DirectX file.
5.When you are finished checking file versions, click Exit.

Figure 1. Click Start and choose the Run Command on the Start Menu.
Figure 2.Type "dxdiag" (without the quote marks) and click ok.
