I have this beautiful, brand new computer I bought at the end of June. Today, my screensaver is not working because "direct3d" is not there. It used to be! How do I fix this and figure out how it happened?
 
Sorry I am no help. Did you call the manufacturer? They usually include free help for so many days.
 
If you can remember the last date that you knew it was there, you can run a "System Restore" program and make your computer go back to that date.
Click on Start then Run and type in restore. You will see several programs to choose from. Pick System Restore. You will lose any new programs that you've installed since the date that you choose but nothing else.
Good Luck
 
I'd either do a system restore, or uninstall the screen saver program, and then re-install it. Maybe the files were somehow messed up when they were installing.
 
Start > Run > type "cmd" without quotes, then type "dxdiag" without quotes.

Click on the Display tab and run the tests using the test buttons.
