I've installed the latest Forceware drivers for my 8800 GTX and used the DirectX web installer, and yet it seems that anytime a game attempts to run in DirectX 10 or use DX10-only stuff like special lighting, the game stops running and has to be ended through the task manager. I tried searching, and couldn't find anything on the subject. Is there a fix for this? What would you recommend I do, short of throwing Vista in the trash?

Throwing Vista in the trash also tosses DX10 with it. WinXP only has DX9.0c. Run the dxdiag program and look to see any corrupted files. Take note of any error messages when game falters.

Did some research, couldn't find anything, did a clean reinstall, and after sorting out issues with the automatic updates, everything works.
