I had some problems with graphics card and DirectX on my machine... well, the attempts to remove and subsequently reinstall DX from scratch have failed miserably. The current state of my DirectX drivers can be decribed as one big bloody mess.

Is there anything I could do to get this stuff fixed WIHTOUT reinstalling Windows?

DXE happens to be one of the tools that caused the current situation...

Format and reinstall?

I really hope you won't have to get to that point.

DirectX can be annoying when it gets currupt.

A great prank, was it?

It brought me to this point.

I DEMAND...

No, not your head on a silver platter... nor your flayed skin (altough it's quite amusing to consider)...

Just an apology.
For suggesting things that can screw up someone else's machine.

Thanks to you, I had to endure 5 days of prolonged weekend (weekend + 3 days of local celebrations) without access to my computer.
And here I was so hoping that I read some mangas, watch anime, and - of course - play games.
Grrumble.
