First, I would clean out the Windows\Temp folder.
You can safely remove any file or folder that is more than 1 week old. And may be able to remove everything.

Then I would check for updated drivers for you motherboard/chipset, as the existing drivers may not support DX8.
Then check for updated drivers for your video card, or if the card mfg has known problems with DX8.
