Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.

There is the source of your problems, your Direct X is corrupted.
 
Did it crash when you loaded your save or could you continue to play?

sorry, but could u show me how?

Just run the Direct X installer from a recent gamedisk that includes it on disk, you may get a repair option, you could try that as well.
Or you could try MS update.
Really the best thing is to get an uninstaller, you would need to google that to find it, then run it and install a new copy, there should be instruction with the uninstaller.
