DirectX has many uses in Windows. It allows developers to standardise certain video display and audio files - this makes them easier to develop and run on different types of PCs (it is also used on consoles such as the Xbox).

The DirectX runtime cannot be uninstalled. We recommend Windows Me and Windows XP users create a 'System Restore' point before installing. For information on creating a restore point, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles: Windows XP: Microsoft Knowledge Base article 310405. DirectX, free and safe download.

DirectX is supposed to be backward compatible. So, if a game was written for DirectX 9, it should run if you have DirectX 10 or DirectX 11 installed on your PC. However, a game written specifically for DirectX 10 will generally not run on DirectX 9 or earlier. Each version of DirectX offers newer features and better rendering - in other words, prettier pictures that are more detailed and realistic (assuming your PC has the hardware to handle the heavier load).

It features in both Windows Vista and Windows 7 but not XP. In other words, the way Windows Vista and Windows 7 create images on your screen is different to the way Windows XP does it. Since DirectX is tied to the way graphics are drawn, therein lies the problem with newer versions of DirectX. In order to make DirectX 10 compatible with Windows XP, you need to make a lot of changes to various system files responsible for creating the display on your screen (also called rendering).
