    Its not real advise he was being sarcastic.

    Usually from a games shortcut you can add in the target line -dx9 and it forces DX9. Or look in your program files folder for the game and see if it has two seperate launcher.exe's one for DX10 and one for dX9. Also if the game populates in Vistas "Games" folder usually just right clicking the game shorcut will offer the option to "play in dx9"
