Thanks7 but,unfortunately, I can't do that. Windows Vista uses DX10 and to my knoweledge, DX9 will not work with Vista.
It will work ihad a vista ultm and it worked the only thing didn't work is te video draiver plus it's combatible with the 10 unlike OS xp.

You can install DX9 on Vista without a problem. DX10 is a separate entity to DX9. If a program supports DX10 it will of course try that first, but many games do not use it and in fact require DX9 runtimes or they will not run properly. (Usually resulting in the very compatibility problems you've been having.)
In short, yes you can run the DX9 setup from the disc. It won't break anything.
Oh, and do some reading. There's a VERY good reason most game developers don't give a fig about DX10.
