Uninstall the game

Install directx drivers from scratch.

Update graphic drivers to newest (even if you've already repeat by doing a clean install)

Run DXDIAG.EXE and go to the tab Display, check if  DirectX-Functions are all enabled.

Restart the PC

Install the game

See if that works.

Could you explain how to install the Direct X drivers from scratch? Do I need to remove the current drivers first and reinstall?

    In theory you cannot really remove direct x, you just override the installation, but anyhow I doubt it is the real issue you've.
