Installing DirectX 9.0c (yes....it's for the sims 2 :\ )

[swirl086 0]

Hello

 

I realise that there have been many threads on this before, which I have been reading through! (http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread28821-1.html)

(http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread32112-1.html )

http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread28837-1.html etc! so this must be annoying. However I still can't get DirectX to install :s

 

At first I had the cabinet problem (link 1 there), then I solved it ( i think ) with the Cryptographic Services solution posted by Wilhelmus. Now when i go to the microsoft website to d/l & install DirectX 9.0c i get a new error msg come up:

 

Quote:

The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP.

 

This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator.

 

I don't have a clue what to do now.

 

Thanks

 

ps I use Firefox not IE if that makes a difference! Is there any way of getting SP2 using Firefox? I heard that installs directx for you.

Hi.

 

At first, do this:

1. Open System in Control Panel.

2. On the Hardware tab, click Driver Signing.

3. Under File signature verification, click:

"Ignore" to allow all device drivers to be installed on this computer, regardless of whether they have a digital signature.

 

If this does not fix it, then:

 

You cannot install some updates or programs

And for SP2, you can download it from microsoft's website (full package, about 272391 KB) or order cd: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx
