After installing a new version of DirectX you may find that some of your 
games are now crashing. This is because the new version of DirectX may not 
have updated the Windows Registry properly when it was installed. 

To fix this:

1) Back up any player profiles or other game-related files you wish to save.
2) Uninstall the game presenting the problem.
3) Re-install the game. 

This should update your Registry with the correct entries and the game 
should now run properly. You will need to do this for each game that has 
this problem.
