Direct X is not disabled but DirectDraw and Direct 3D is. Go to start Run> dxdiag and go through the tabs to enable desired options.

i cant enable it because its as simple as it gets: DirectX is disabled.

when opening dxdiag.exe i get some error that direct3d and ddraw cant be loaded..

posting the errors later, are running windows xp now and cant restart the computer before later..
