A: Our friends over at Windows7News.com have a solution in their forum that cover your DirectX issue with Windows 7 and the ATI Radeon graphics card. It also covers how to install the driver for the ATI Radeon graphics card in Windows 7 for those that are unable to get the driver installed. Once the driver is installed it also covers how to make it so your computer does not crash each time you try to shut it down due to the ATI Radeon graphics card driver.

Read Answer HereQ: I am trying to help my friend get his computer working with Direct3D games. It turns out someone installed a new graphics card on his computer recently and now these Direct3D games will not start anymore. When I run DXdiag, I get the following results.

The graphics card he now has in his computer is a ATI Radeon 9550 and I have downloaded the latest driver from ATI, which is 8-1_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_57717.exe but it did NOT help. I can run OpenGL games but not direct3D games.
A: You will want to try to uninstall your current driver and try using Catalyst 7.8:

The latest drivers apparently don’t work correctly with the 9550. Also make sure you’re running the latest version of DirectX 9c from Microsoft.
