    Hello

    I have acer aspire 5920g with Windows 7 OS.
    My directx crashes all the time though I dont play any games. I have the updated version of directx. This is the recent problem I am getting, though I had ugraded my OS from Vista to Win 7 long time.

    Each time I restart my notebook it works fine.

    I view lots of videos on youtube and TVU player. so each time I play restart, it works for some time and then its get crashed.

    Can I just know what might be the possible problem.



    Thanks

    I really have no idea. Skype uses DirectX for video call compression and also for sound I think.

    If you cant narrow it down to 'if I do this and than this it crashes' it will be very hard to find a solution since there is nothing except a very general 'directx error'.

    This only happens recently? Did you update video or sound drivers? Updated flash or directx? Changed browsers or something else that could be a clue?

    I would uninstall the video drivers and reinstall them. Since you have problems with youtube also I would do the same for flash. Uninstall and reinstall it. Try it and hope you get lucky. Otherwise only thing I can think of is reformat and reinstall windows.
