Would DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer work with my DirectX?

Question

Good morning, everybody!

I installed an old game called Populous: The Beginning (or Populous 3) in my laptop. Everything is working good until when I run it and the game gets with a pink-blurred screen. The game doesn't freeze or something... the only problem is this screen, because I can't almost see anything.
I worked a lot trying to find out what's going on with this and I have a hypothesis that it's because of my DirectX. Then I was on dxdiag.exe (DirectX diagnosis) and I perceived that my DirectX didn't come with DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP Texture Acceleration. These three options are with the description "Unavailable". I believe that's the problem of my game.

Then I found on Microsoft Download Center this DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displayLang=en , but I'm not sure it can help me, because it says that "The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX — the core Windows® technology that drives high-speed multimedia and games on the PC." However, in the end, in Additional Details, it says that "The DirectX end-user installation includes all the latest and previous released DirectX runtime. This includes the bi-monthly D3DX, XInput, and Managed DirectX components."
See that the publishing date of the download is 6/8/2010, in other words, DirectX 11 has ever existed.

Would this help me with my DirectX 11 problem?

Yet, I found a DirectX End-User Runtimes, could this help me as well?

As you see, I'm a stupid when it's about computer, software, hardware etc. So, please help me! I tried a lot around Internet, but nothing helps me!

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: my O.S. is a Windows 7 Ultimate.

Answer 3

Windows comes with DirectX set up, and Garry's mod must paintings first-rate. In reality, each and every recreation that runs on Windows 7 will run simply as well, if now not bigger, on Windows eight. Something is both fallacious together with your Windows set up or some thing is fallacious together with your photographs drivers. What precisely is the mistake that you are getting?
