Hi Quita,

When I try to install Direct X 9.0, it fails and gives me
a popup that explains "Cabinet file necessary for
installation cannot be trusted." It says I have DirectX
8.0 already installed. The game I want to install needs
Direct X 9.0 What do i do?
Here are a few solutions for the DirectX 9 "Logo Testing" error,
as well as other errors when trying to install patches or updates:
Here's a quick solution to try before reading through the other steps:
1.. Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
2.. Double-click Services.
3.. Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
4.. Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.
If that doesn't work, then grab a soda and get ready for some fun. ;-)
1. Try the resolutions in this recently released MS article:

2. Save and then Open the "DX9 Logo Error" patch on Line 189

3. Repairing Windows is our final option. Boot from your Windows
CD (you may have to press F12 while starting up, or change the
bootup order in your BIOS) and then follow the instructions at:
