Unrecoverable DirectX Error

[JaguarLover]

Hi All, My friends having this DirectX issuse, any ideas?

I have this irritating error preventing me from playing Black Ops 2 which I just bought from a store, and installed on to Steam. It installs fine then when I start it I get "Unrecoverable DirectX Error"
I have seen that many people have had this problem, But all the forums dont give me a reliable fix, There is Win+P and nothing even comes up, Ive tried doing an integerity check, Dosnt make a difference, Im on a single monitor aswell.
I really want to play BO2 so can someone please help me with a reliable fix.
