Unable to play several games after updating DirectX?
Recently, several games on this laptop (Lenovo 3000 N100 with Windows 7 64-bit) that worked previously have become unplayable. Either they don't open at all, or they do open, but I see a black/clear screen. I think the problem is with my graphic drivers, because I can play the games by enabling the "256 color" and "Play in 640x480". Anyway, the problem started occurring after I tried to update my DirectX version and my graphic cards to play a new game (This war of Mine), which included updates to DirectX that I used. After that, my DirectX version updated to 11, but now I'm unable to play several games. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my graphic drivers, but I haven't had any results.
