DirectX and Dragon Age 2

Hello everyone,

Hopefully someone here will be able to help me with a rather challenging problem I have getting Dragon Age 2 to work on my system. When I install and run the game I get the following error:



I already tried the suggested fixes like upgrading drivers (ATI) and setting it to DirectX9. While reinstalling I noticed the game tried to install directx after giving a message that my current version was not sufficient. Strange as to my knowing and dxdiag backs me up, I do have the latest version installed. Out of curiosity I tried to install directX again manually and got this:



The error log showed me the following:



I googled the data error (cyclic redundancy check but got nothing. I did do a windows 7 update as this was suggested on some other forum.

I installed Dragon Age 2 on my crappy laptop and there it ran straight away. DirectX also just reinstalls correctly when I do so on my laptop. Thus I believe the problem lies with DirectX but I am out of ideas.

Has anyone here ever encountered this before and knows how to fix it?

My specs:
Intel Core 2 DUO E8500
Gigabyte EP45-DS3L
ATI Radeon HD4850
Windows 7 Professional 32 bit

Hey Wallonn!

I actually tried all the different distributables but not the websetup... Guess what, it worked! Beats me why the websetup does work and the redistributables don't...

I feel pretty dumb now for not trying it, but you are a lifesafer for pointing it out. Tryed Dragon Age and now it works too so it was DirectX that was being the pain in my ass.

The scannow I had read about somwhere but it did not come up with anything either. Guess I'll never know what the problem was now though...

A big thanks again!
