Can somebody tell me what direct3D is??

Direct3D is part of the Microsoft DirectX API. It sits between your graphics card and Microsoft Windows operating systems and interprets calls for certain 3D acceleration functions.

ok but can it be that its not in the pc?

If you have a fresh install of Microsoft Windows then it is likely that Direct3D will not be functioning properly as the Windows native drivers only support 2D and OpenGL acceleration at most. DirectX/Direct3D will be installed to some degree, but not completely.

Download and install:

1). Microsoft DirectX 9.0 (www.microsoft.com)
2). If you have an ATI or Nvidia graphics card, Download your vendor specific reference drivers (www.ati.com or www.nvidia.com).
