Wheres My Directx Gone !

My Dual Boot XP Home edition upgrade machine.

Following using SCF /scannow,and SFC /purgecache ... the XP machine now has a damaged Dx. For the Radeon ATI 64 MB DDR,and ATI-TV cards onboard.
In the System Information,it appears as though USB,Ethernet,and TV Card,Sound Card are using the same IRQ. There was no 'checks in Device manager execpt for the TV Tuner,following a reboot of the SFC scan. If I try to access the internet (IE+Ethernet Card+USB now),the machine will reboot. Or do a use of the Dx Diagnostic . But runs ok,if I am doing anything else.

[ ] If I run the Directx diagnostic,the machine will reboot as well. With the File scanner running on all drives at the boot up. At each occurance.

[ ] It appears the XP is ignoring the IRQs for the KT7 MB Im using. Problem being onboard the XP software somewhere. The W98SE runs fine on the same running hardware. So there is not an indication of a hardware failure. The enumeration for XP I cannot get the software to 'update its own information.Again I can see no check marks within Device manager. Still all Five devices USB,Sound Card,TV card,Ethernet Card,are using the same IRQ,as seen from System Information.

Directx...Microsoft has a Directx,however it requires authentication,and in so doing It always recinds to send the computer a W98 version(web download version). So Im wondering will the "distributable download" install onboard ?

----- ------- Background: I was wanting to look at the IP address using Ping,Netstat,or any of the other command line entries to the 'cmd . Once doing so I noticed that: Ping,PathPing,Tracert,Netstat...none of these where available at the cmd. ...this is what brought on the SFC.
---- ----- The system doesn't have any restore points. The Restore Points,conflicts with different files between the readable FAT32 drives of the W98SE,and XP file system on the two disk drives I have.
---- ----- In the Reboot,a filescan keeps pointing to a directory of an HP origin. I have a printer,long unlatched with all software uninstalled.


I have elected to try and Reinstall the Video Drivers along with the re-instalation of Directx using the Distributable version. Since I cannot access the Internet using IE running the other half of my machine here (XP).

My question is what is my problem here ?

 

To reallocate the resources, change the position of the PCI cards in the slots. If you have a PCI soundcard (or maybe an internal dialup modem) put those in the last slots near the edge of the motherboard.

Windows will automatically reinstall the drivers.

I found a resource problem recently. After rearranging the PCI cards twice the system is now fine.

Yes I Typically do that . But in this case the computer runs fine on the other op.sys. software with the same hardware . W98SE . This tells me basically that the software for the XP is F'd up . If I were to do that merely on the case of satifying XP,I would have to go and rehash all of the settings for the W98SE.

Luckily things worked. I had that choice,having the layout for the motherboard and such. They say that XP ignores the IRQs for/from the systems BIOS. It is some kind of software override. I know I certainly couldn't get by in W98SE with 5 devices running on the same IRQ (as read in System Information in XP).

In Win98 you could change up the IRQ right in Device Manager. And ya know,when you know what devices are in wich slots and what IRQs they pertain to.Know I was searching for a new enumeration of somekind. Everything sitting on a seven now. Who knows.

Anyway,the choice was to guess the problem was a corrupt video driver/directx . After this,if not succeful,next choice would be to re-install the OP.Sys perhaps.

Guess what,I Uninstalled the vid card driver 1),re-installed Direct x 2). Re-installed the Vid Cards Driver software etc 3). And so far so good..[ ]

System File Checker,really haggled up the thin spread of my driver versions nominal compatability. Now somebody with a l-itt-le more experience to the program/interface of using XP might have done something differently....

Kind of frontier territory on mind brain budget.Decided to put a Restore Point,only on the drive for XPs op.sys files. <-Thing to do.

Still got the problem of reason networking tools wont run from the cmd. Guys changed up books long fore I learned DOS. Going to post this somewhere here to.

Thanks for reply Matt.
