Problems Installing Direct X 9.0b
Hi!
I have problems installing Direct X 9.0b. When I install it (from Windows Update), it seems to me that is it never really installed! I have a game called Project Entropia. That game needs Direct X 9.0b to run. Each time I've installed Direct X and restarted my computer, it still tells me that Direct X 9.0b is not installed and that I have version 7.1. I check the Installation History (in Windows Update) and it tells me that I have installed it sucsessfully! Please help me out! Thanks In Advance, Doug |

Problems Installing Direct X 9.0b
Download the Dx 9.0b runtime and install it yourself. It is also listed on
the Dx web site as the redistributable. "Doug" wrote in message ... Hi! I have problems installing Direct X 9.0b.

files and starting to copy them, it tells me a file has not been extracted. Then the installation has failed. -----Original Message----- Download the Dx 9.0b runtime and install it yourself.

Problems Installing Direct X 9.0b
This sounds like one of two things (or both!)
You have Norton software installed? Your System Restore is non-functional? Here's the first....... Have you been running with the Quack? Are you running Norton System Quack - - errr - Doctor? If so, then read on...... You may have up to 32,000 empty OEM*.INF files sitting in your c:\Windows\INF folder, which prevents any program putting a legitimate *.INF file in there (it also slow your system down to stop, trying to read them and sort the [non-existent] contents!). You need to DELETE all 0byte (and ONLY the 0byte) OEM*.INF files. look here for information on how to do that , and how to prevent it happening again (i.e. TURN OFF NORTON SYSTEM DOCTOR - unless you are actively troubleshooting something) The Symantec site: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...15010309&src=n also "Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) During Setup, Installing Updates, or Adding New Hardware" (http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q281967) also http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q301540 (which contains the fix for your problem in the NOTE under the patch description) Phone your Local MS office, and tell them your problem quoting Q301540 - they'll either send you the patch, or give you a one-use password, for the cost of the call. Here's a variation of the first! If You have Norton Anti-Virus (as it laughingly describes that poorly-written ME-killer) installed, ALWAYS prevent it running when updating or installing programs from safe sources - after scanning the installer! Here's the second.... Check the stauts of your System restore - go her, and follow the instructions for a test of SR - and report back http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/quiktipsr.htm Good Luck -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Doug" wrote in message ...
