I'm not entirely sure where exactly the problems started, but I think there may be a corruption in my DirectX files.
Within the last few days games I have attempted to install have given me error messages about DirectX, that either it's not there or is failing to initialize. (Most notably Spore Creature Creator and Portal) I downloaded the update utility and tried to run it, only it seems to be able to find DirectX fine, so it aborts. I'd like to just completely uninstall DirectX and reinstall it, but apparently that's not a feature of the program.
The only other thing that comes to mind is a memory problem, but my RAM passes and I have the right drivers for my video card.
Any suggestions? I've never had to deal with a problem like this before, so I'm rather confused.
