Suggested general troubleshooting procedure for games:

Install latest game patches from game vendor's website. (Re-try game)
Install latest DirectX version. (Re-try game)
Install latest video card and audio card drivers from the device manufacturer's website. (Re-try game)
Run DXDIAG tool from command prompt and look for reported problems.
Contact the game's technical support or search the game vendor's support forums for identical or similar issues with known resolutions.

Given the error, run DXDIAG and see if it complains about something and update your video drivers.

I would un-install Directx first and then re-install it only, maybe there is a file missing...
