With a little bit of work from your side, you can make things work that don't work at this moment. Therefore I'll give you some links to sites where you can update your motherboard chipset drivers, videocard or -chip drivers and DirectX.

Motherboard:
AMD Updates and Support
Intel drivers and support
nVidia

You can use CPU-Z to find out details about your motherboard. If you run dxdiag in Windows, you can check up on your DirectX version and videocard. (Start->Run, type dxdiag and hit Enter)


Video:
Intel Integrated drivers
AMD/ATI Drivers and Support
nVidia
Matrox

At all times, if you have an integrated video chip on your system, check your motherboard maker's site first for updated drivers.
