Looks like you do not have the version of DirectX installed that the game wants to see.
If you transfered your steam games to a new system you may want to delete the local content and re-install the game from steam as it normally installs the files you need.

Games always have a folder in their install path with redistributables including DirectX. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\magika (might be something else--don't have that game) and look in there for something about DirectX.

I didn't transfer anything. I just installed steam, logged in, and downloaded the Magicka demo to see if I liked it. This is the error upon login. I also just tried installed Directx 9 and got another error and it said installation failed.

I'll try that again and then post the error if I get it again.

Can't find the folders. I tried searching my computer for them and searching in the start menu.
