    Hi,

    • Install the previous version of DirectX - To do that, you can download the installer from this
      link.
    • Reinstall your graphic card drivers. - To do so, follow these steps:
    • Press Windows Key + X and choose Device Manager.
    • Go to Display Adapters and locate graphic driver.
    • Right click the driver and choose Uninstall.
    • Check Remove the driver software for this device and click
      OK
      .
    • Restart your computer once you're done uninstalling the driver.
    • When computer restarts, go to graphic card manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for your graphic card.
