Hello, I recently installed The Orange Box, and upon trying to start certain games, I receive the message:

"This game has a minimum requirement of DirectX 8.0 to run properly." Specifically for Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Half Life 2: Episode 2.

Now, I understand what this means, but the only problem is that my computer is currently running DirectX 9.0c.

Also, when I try and play Episode 1, the game seems to run, but I can't do anything, and I only receive the loading screen which looks completely messed up, as in the attached file.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
