Well, if you donīt have a textured view, you should make sure, that everything (including directX) is properly installed.
A 6.5 uses the DirectX9.0c version of April 2006. Maybe you need a Windows Update.

If you open WED >> File >> Preferences you could look which GXL is currently used. It should be GXL2BASDX9.DLL. This works at least for me.
There is this d3dx9_30.dll which should be in your Gamestudio folder and maybe also in the Windows System 32 folder.

If all of this doesnīt help, you can also try to reinstall GS or ask Conitec.
