"stonetrees",
Conventions:
- In these instructions, keys on the keyboard are wrapped, such as: <Enter>,
so an instruction of: Type: cmd <Enter> means type the three letters cmd and
then press <Enter>.
- Combinations such as <Ctrl>+<S> mean to hold the <Ctrl> while then
pressing the <S>.
- When accessing the registry, the word "Expand" means to click on the plus
sign in front of any given key.
Assuming you have the entire DirectX 9.0c download saved to your hard drive
in some location that is easy to remember and navigate to:
1. Print off these directions, because a reboot is involved
2. Shutdown all programs on the taskbar.
3. Click Start
4. Click Run
5. Type %comspec% <Enter>
6. When the MS-DOS window opens, type cd %winbootdir%\system <Enter>
7. In this directory, type: dir /s dd*
8. For each file that the error gave you, delete these files by repeating
the following statement, and replacing (filename) with the actual filename
that you mentioned in your posting.
del /y /s (filename)
9. Repeat step 8, deleting all of the files that produced the error.
10. Install the DirectX 9.0c from the directory in which you downloaded it.
Reply back to this post and let us know how it goes.
