issues with both .net and dx10/9

so whenever i try to start a game i get the message that some important dx9/10.dll is missing which leads me to think that all of it is missing... i thought dx10 was supposed to be included with windows 7? yet when i run dxdiag i am told i am actually running dx11^^

when i try to start lord of the rings online i get an error message because apparently dotnet is missing (that too was supposed to be included right?) when i try to install dotnet 2.0 i am being told it already is installed :/

does anyone know what's going on here?

I'd suggest downloading directx, should fix the missing files.
Download details: DirectX End-User Runtime


* another way to check it *
hit start, type in dxdiag, and hit enter. it'll tell you what version you have, and if there are any conflicts.

yet when i run dxdiag i am told i am actually running dx11^^

already did that

but that link you gave me .. isn't that supposed to install dx9? or did i get that wrong :3

it my bad i guess i skipped that part

that web installer downloads any updates to any version on your system.
usually fixes any prob i have with direct x.

I'm not too familiar with .net errors, maybe there's an update you need? try using Microsoft update.

well everything seems to work now after i used the directx end user runtime and let the lotro setup handle the installation of .net (no idea why the lotro setup could install it when i couldn't...) thanks for the replies :)
