Hi,
I've scoured every forum I could find trying to find a solution for this and it is getting INCREDIBLY frustrating.
To sum it up:
DirectX doesn't like Call of Duty: Black Ops on my machine. I am running the following:
-Win 7 64-bit pro on an SSD
-Gigabyte nVidia Geforce 460 1GB DDR5 256-bit GPU
-AMD Phenom II x6 1100T 3.3GHz
Everything ELSE on my rig runs great. It's just when I try to open Black Ops in Steam, it says
"Performing first time setup...
Installing Microsoft DirctX for Windows (step 1 of 1)"
Then the window closes, no error message to be found and the game doesn't start.
I've tried downloading DirectX from their website, and every time I try to update it, I get the following error:
"An internal system error occured. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to determine the problem."
I open DXError.log and it displays the following:
Sorry, I know this is long but I'm frustrated and am providing as much info as possible.
All other games run fine, it's just COD: Black Ops will not run on Steam and DirectX keeps getting an error every time I try to install it.
DXDiag shows I'm running Directx Version 11 and everything reads as good.
HELP!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All other games run fine, it's just COD: Black Ops will not run on Steam and DirectX keeps getting an error every time I try to install it.
DXDiag shows I'm running Directx Version 11 and everything reads as good.
HELP!!!!!!
