For some reason when i try to install Direct X 9c, it doesn't install any files. Then is says 'The componets installed are now ready for use', but when i try to run a program that uses 8.1 it says you need to install direct X 8.1 or higher. if i try to install direct x 8.1 it says i have a new version installed. can anyone help me.
i have XP as my os.
