How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8 press “Windows key” and the “R” key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8 )
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments (zip) rather than pasted into the body of the post.

file doesn't mean anything to me, but a report may help, have you installed all pre requisites that come with the game? as all are needed, even if you think or know you do, add them again anyway as the install won't hurt any file or make a dupe copy, but will make sure there all there

OK here is dxdiag

What prerequisites for the game do you mean?

Unfortunately XP will have some issues with SC3 so it is not officially supported.

Quote from Hubert.
I haven't gotten the full game yet but the manual states: vista, 7, 8 and 10.
