DirectX 9.0b

[Connor]

every time I try to install DirectX 9.0b it gives me an
error message "The software you are installing has not
passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility
with Windows XP. This program will not be installed". If
anyone knows how to install DirectX 9.0b without the Logo
error message coming up or fix it please email me as soon
as possible!

Hi Connor,

You possibly disabled the Cryptography service by "tweaking"
XP using well intended but bad advice from a site or magazine.

1. Click Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services
Scroll down to "Cryptographic Services", double click it and
change Startup type to: Automatic and click the "Start" button.

2. If the problem persists, go to c:\windows\system32 and rename
the catroot2 directory to catrootold. Catroot2 might be too full.

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:

I'm having the exact same problem, Conner. I just posted
a similar question to the "Games" section of these
newsgroups.

Thanks for the attempt Jimmy, but i've tried 2 of 3 and
neither has worked for me. If anyone else has any
suggestions then i'd really appreciate the help. I'm also
getting the run around between emachines, and msn support
on the phone.

I've had this problem before and one way to fix it is
with a fresh install of internet exporer. I can't seem
to find the KB article that tells how to do that though.

What is the catroot2 folder? What is in it?

Thanx.
