Can't Install DirectX 9.0c
I just purchaed a copy of Sid Meier's Pirates, and I am having trouble installing it. Before I can install the game, it asks me to install todirectx 9.0c . When I say "OK", it gets a few seconds into the installation before saying "A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted." and then I have to cancel the installtion. I can continue to install Pirates, but it gives me an error when I try to play the game without the directx upgrade. Does anyone have an idea how i can get the directx installed, or what i'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Try downloading it directly from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried downloading and installing it from microsoft.com, but after downloading it, I got the same error.
My computer is an Acer TravelMate 250 laptop 2.4 ghz 256 ram, and plenty of space on the hard drive. |

No one knows what I'm doing wrong? Do you think i should reinstall my vid card drivers, or should i go all the way and reinstall my OS? I think that my computer should be able to run this game, even if it only just has the min sys requirements. Let me know what you think.
