I have searched google for the error and seen many posts about it but the
fixes I have seen don't seem to fix it.

Hi Invisible Man,

If DirectX 9 gives you an error indicating that it cannot
copy a required file and you're running XP, try these
steps one at a time to see which one solves the problem:

1. Make sure you're using an Administrator's account

2. 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.

3. Install Service Pack 2 from the Windows Update Site

4. Close all programs including antivirus / firewall software

5. Right click your C:\Windows folder, select Properties and
uncheck the "Read-only" Attribute. Click OK on the popup box
to "Apply changes to this folder, subfolder, and files". (default.)

Hope this helps you fix that error that you and previous others have
reported. Please let me know which of the 6 steps worked for you.

Hi

None of them worked.

None of them worked.

Silly suggestion perhaps, but have you previously installed an older
version? A version that perhaps has a read-only file in an expected
directory?

What Service pack are you running?
Start Button --> RUN --> winver --> OK and read it off from there.

What version of DirectX do you have now?
Start Button --> RUN --> dxdiag --> OK and read it from the bottom of the
"System" tab/page.
