I downloaded Directx 9.0c, started to install. The files got Extracted. When it started copying the files, Windows Logo Program said it wasn't registered, blah blah blah, This software will not be installed. Contact your system Administrator. I clicked Ok, then an error came up saying Directx could not copy a required file.


Now I believe that I need to disable the Windows Logo Program. So I searched and searched, but couldn't find anything that had to do with Windows Logo Program settings. SO, could someone tell me how to disable Windows Logo Program?

I did what you said, however I am still getting the same results. It's kind of funny, isn't Directx made by Microsoft? You'd think it would recognize it :-|

Are you talking the runtime or the SDK, and what OS are you working on (there are different requirements for either)?

I've installed both without problems on Windows 2000, except for the SDK installer crashing once (it worked fine after I started it again).

I'm talking about the runtime. I'm using Windows XP.

I have disabled the Windows Logo Program, however it doesn't help anything. I updated all of my drivers from NVidia. Is there anyway I can just delete this "Windows Logo Testing" program? :evil:
