DirectX Problems

[Joe]

I just got Star Wars Galaxies. It needs Direct X 9.0a to
function. When I went to install the version included
with the game, it said that it was not approved by
windows so it would not install. So, I downloaded it from
the windows site, and it still says it doesn't have the
digital signature or it is not approved, so it doesn't
install. What should I do?

Direct X 9a or the newer 9b are digitally signed.
Download 9b,go to run,type:SigVerif
Then advanced options,get it to locate the direct X
dwnload,run the test.You should be able to dwnload in
the open setting from microsoft,or try windows update.
