DXdiag gives Direct Show error?

[Raphael Argus]

Hello All, can anyone tell me what hardware direct show addresses? Is it video, audio, both? When I run DXdiag I get a direct show error. I also noticed that in the audio tests when it says I should hear music, I do not. I'm using an Audigy 2ZS with the latest drivers on XP Pro SP2. Any help or clarification appreciated.

**DXdiag has detected that there may have been a problem accessing DirectShow the last time the program was used. Would you like to bypass Direct Show this time? Yes/No**

Yes, allows me to get into DXdiag, No gives me a lockup and I have to manually close it down.

Bumping. Any ideas?

Direct Show is for Video Feeds from the net. They are live feeds from places like MySpace and other places.

As for the error i dont know what to say. I have always gotten direct show errors but i dont get DXDiag errors.

Ah, well at least I know it's not for anything that important. Thanks Makaveli. I was afraid it may pertain to audio or video within games. I think I'll just ignore it
