SUMMARY
When you run the DirectX 9.0 Diagnostic Tool (Dxdiag.exe), you may notice that some fields display n/a.



MORE INFORMATION
The Dxdiag tool can display configuration information for many of your computer's audio, video, and input devices.

Versions of Dxdiag that were included with DirectX version 8.1 and earlier use custom detection code to discover this information. But beginning with DirectX 9.0, Dxdiag now displays information that was gathered from the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Because of this change, you may notice that some fields in Dxdiag show more information, less information, or different information than in previous versions of Dxdiag. This is standard behavior.

Additional query words: not available NA DirectX 9
