Hi Friends...

This is my first post, I have some questios, I hope you answer..

I've formated my computer, by using first copy of xp. Next, I've tried

to download PowerDVD, but when I was installing, it's asked to install

DirectX9, so I've brought from the certain cd but it asked to set it somewhere

so wher should I set DirectX 9???

Second, I want to upgrade xp to xp sp1. I've already had this file(sp1) but I didn't where should I set it to work?

Could you help me?

If you went ahead and install Windows XP SP2, SP2 includes DX9 and several security enhancements!
Windows XP SP2 Offline Installer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&DisplayLang=en)

You'd better download the offline installer rather than went to windowsupdate.........

Thank you ....

Rudegar:
Yes, it's never asked you because it's already there but in my case
I's not had. In addition, downloading from ms, causing a long time, so I've found whose file to install it directly from USB.


ElrichMeister:
What can I do whether I wouldn't find a way to install that file..of course I'll
go to ms. :( PimpMySystem, yes , it is :cool:

Zefram actually I agree with azn_rebel99, I prefer XP for those reasons and other...

so...any suggestions
