You may need to install the last DX 9c "update". Seems that MS left
something out of Vista.

Caviats-- May or may not be the appropriate download for your version of
Vista-- May or may not solve your problem.
(An earlier version solved a bunch of similar problems on my HP laptop with
Vista Ultimate 32bit.)
Another remote possibility is that your video drivers need to be updated.
