Can you post your log? http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=97

Chances are you don't have a GPU does sufficiently supports crucial features of DirectX 10 that OBS uses. A lot of integrated GPUs have this problem. You will need to get a discrete graphics card, or if you are using a laptop and you don't have a high-powered GPU, you are sadly out of luck.

Error: Could not initialize DirectX 10 on Intel(R) HD Graphics.  This error can happen for one of the following reasons:

1.) Your GPU is not supported (DirectX 10 is required - note that many integrated laptop GPUs do not support DX10)
2.) You're running Windows Vista without the "Platform Update"
3.) Your video card drivers are out of date

If you are using a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus or AMD Switchable Graphics, make sure OBS is set to run on the high performance GPU in your driver settings.

Hardware not supported by OBS (yet) -- only newer models of intel integrated adapters are supported. If this is a desktop, buy a video card. If it's a laptop you might be out of luck without a new laptop (at least until we make code compatible with them, which is annoyingly difficult)

wow, just wow, i have intel HD graphics on my old laptop on windows 8 that worked perfectly well and i recently got an i5 windows 7 laptop that also has intel hd graphics and it comes up saying that it couldnt initalize directX10 for it, which is complete rubbish! and i am really getting sick of it, i have updated the drivers for my video card, and it still comes up with the message. i could really use some help.

You need a laptop that has a decent GPU, Intel HD is not good enough to use OBS.
