Dxdiag report I infer that the direct files are corrupt and will require a reinstallation of the DirectX. For which I need to remove the DirectX entries from the registry and then install DirectX in safe mode. So how do I to create Restore Point in Windows ME? Then clean registry of Directx?

To go to a previous configuration go to START, Programs, Accessories, System Tools and in there you should find an icon for system restore. Click on that, and follow through the wizard, the days in bold print are restore points. After you are finished, if you go back into system restore you will see the option for creating a restore point also.

Did DX diagnostics actually say you needed to delete the Direct X entries from the registry? Which version of Direct X are you trying to install? Direct X 8.1b is the most current Direct X available. Try download and installing Direct X again [see microsoft's Direct X web page]

reinstalling Direct X will overwrite all existing files and registry entries for Direct X and should fix the corrupted files problem. After install and you check the direct X files with system tools, system information tools, direct x diagnostics tool and the direct X files shows no problems, you can then specifiy a restore point for Windows ME.
