DirectX 9.0c Troubles

[Pips 5]

I've been trying to d/load the new DirectX package from the Microsoft site, so that I can then reinstall and load up my SFG version with SP$ and the new Weapons Pack.

 

But I'm having a lot of trouble with the validation process on the Microsoft site. When I go through the steps of validation I end up with the page showing stating that I am not authorised to veiw blah blah. Now I knwo i have a genuine Microsoft Windows XP installation - after all it was part of the computer package I bought.

 

So what on earth can be the problem? Any suggestions welcome. :)

Some valid installations may have a registry issue, etc. that blocks the communications that the validation program needs. You need to go to Microsoft's website (and maybe even contact microsoft directly) to get the proper solution to the problem.
