Hi Kurt,
If you have an older (beta?) version of SP2 installed then
that could lead to these types of problems. Definitely get
the old package off your system and install the public SP2.

| Hi Jimmy,
| ok yea i got the redistributable version and dled and it and everything i
| even have the version on battle grounds but it just doesn't seem to install
| or download anything like when i accept the terms and conditions, then it
| says its going to dl stuff but just finishes and says that it install
| sucessfully but i check the dxdiag and its still version 9.0b so obviously it
| didn't work. could i extract one of the parts of the redistributable into a
| folder or somethign else that maybe would work? or could i uninstall sp2 and
| get the newest version because i have an older version of sp2.
|
| thanks for your help.
