1. Go to Start > Run > type "DXDIAG" (without the quotes) in the dialogue box and click OK

  • NOTE: If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 then you still need to go to Start > type "DXDIAG" (without the quotes) in the Search box and hit Enter

2. You may be asked to "Check if your Drivers are Digitally Signed".  Simply click "Yes" to this box.

3. When the DXDIAG program starts, look in the Operating System section and make note of your Operating System and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit.

  • NOTE: If you have Windows XP then it will be 32-bit.

4. Click the "Display" tab at the top of the DXDIAG window.
