It sounds like the problem you're experiencing is the classic "Map Editor" crash that happens when the map editor or parameter editor try to display anything in 3D. I don't think it's DirectX that needs disabled, it's a Diret3D Acceleration. Microsoft removed the ability to do that in win7 onward.
The fix I prefer is to use VirtualPC which emulates a entire computer using software so there's no acceleration. It runs as a window on your normal desktop and you can drag/drop files from/to it like a normal window. The only downside is when it comes time to playtest, the lack of 3D acceleration can cause lag.
