Stay up-to-date with DirectX so you avoid system crashes

Microsoft DirectX is a suite of multimedia application programming interfaces (APIs) built into Windows that’s employed by graphic- or video-intensive business applications. Without the right version installed, you might have problems that could crash your apps or even produce Windows stop errors. Fortunately, you can use the DirectX End User Run Time monthly to stay up-to-date with the latest patches so you guarantee smooth video sailing.

To update your DirectX version using the DirectX End User Run Time:
1. Per Microsoft, set a System Restore point (in XP) in case problems arise. You can’t uninstall DirectX End User Run Time.
2. Point your browser to www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en and click on the Continue button to validate Windows.
3. Download and install the runtime. The installation is straightforward.

Once you click the Fin ish button on the last page of the run time’s installation wizard, you can rest assured that you’ve successfully updated your system.
