Hi. I had a problem recently with my primary hard drive, so I was using my secondary one until I got a new one. I got it and started getting it all set up, which included installing my favorite game, star wars battlefront 2. After I installed it, I can't get it to run. I keep getting the message, 'Star Wars Battlefront II needs to update your DirectX installation before you proceed! Do you want to perform the update now?' I click yes and it goes through the license agreement and then says that the components are installed and ready to use. It doesn't actually install anything because I have Windows 7 and DirectX 11. But then if I try to start the game again, it gives the same message. While my main drive was down, I installed it on my other drive and it worked fine with Windows 7 and the same computer specs. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but still get the same problem. System specs:
Core 2 Duo E6400
4 gb RAM
Radeon X1600 video card
2 x 250 Gb hard drives in a RAID (primary)
320 Gb hard drive (secondary)

Even though you are running windows 7, lets go ahead and update your directx:

This will update any files that need to be updated. Let us know the results

when you run the install (and game) please go to the installer and right click. Choose "run as administrator".
