XP will not allow DirectX 9.0 to be

[Pal26]

XP will not allow DirectX 9.0 to be installed on my computer. It say's "it has not passed the Windows logo testing for the product and will not be installed on the computer". I already have the 8.1 ver.. THis does not make sense since i am downloading the 9.0 right of the micorsoft website??? it must have passed the so called big brother windows logo testing right?? is there a way to bypass that part and continue the installation, so far i have not found a way!

THank YOu!

Check in Services that the Cryptographic Services are started.

To set file signature verification options
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Hardware tab, click Driver Signing.
Under File signature verification, click one of the following:

Ignore to allow all device drivers to be installed on this computer, regardless of whether they have a digital signature.

Warn to display a warning message whenever an installation program attempts to install a device driver without a digital signature. This is the default behavior for Windows.

Block to prevent an installation program from installing device drivers without a digital signature.

If you are a logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, under Administrator option, click Apply setting as system default to apply the selected setting as the default for all users who log on to this computer.

After allowing the driver signing to install drivers anyway, XP still has a problem with installing DirectX 9.0. Can there be another option?

Windows Update Installation Failure

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=814033

Have you ever hit Windows Update, identified required patches, only to be met with installation failure, even with repeated attempts? Me too. Windows 2000 and Windows XP have a quirk that can result in this behavior if there are too many files within the INF folder. A patch is available for download, but I don't see it listed by Windows Update itself at this point.

Please let us know if the advice we give is of some help.
Feedback will benefit all

AshleyPride is right. I had the same problem and got this answer from Compaq support
"If the same problem persists while downloading from this site also then
turn on the "Cryptographic Services" service under Control Panel,
Adminstrative Tools, Services to resolve the problem."
