    Under Options > Video > Advanced in Team Fortress 2, it's showing that it's operating in Directx 9.0. But I'm on Windows Vista 64-bit and my dxdiag obviously shows that I have DirectX 10.0. The box that may allow me to select 10.0 is greyed out. Any way to fix this? Thanks.

    Updating to the latest DirectX libraries is worth a shot, it might not help but it can't hurt to try.

    I believe the game only runs in DX9?

    That'll be the last time I try to provide help on DirectX for a game which I don't own.
