Installing Direct X

[Guest]

When I run DirectX Setup, the message "Setup was completed" appears
immediately. However, DirectX is not installed.

The help on dxdiag tells me to look for more help. Cna anyone tell me how to
fix this?

you don't need directx as you have already have it....

Run DXDIAG and see what it says you have.
