I have tried reinstalling Directx (using the directx_Jun2010_redist.exe file from Microsoft.com) but to no avail. I believe this is Directx 9.x but I have not been able to find an exe for Directx 10 which is installed by default on Vista.

The below is my laptop config:

OS: Windows Vista Home Basic SP2
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3200 @ 2GHz
RAM: 4GB
