Need DirectX 9.0 help

[HotButteredScones]

It wont install, plain and simple.
I have downloaded the installer several times.

It gives me an error message saying that i need to either try again at a later time or to adjust my network settings.

Well i tried again, same result, and i have no idea what i need to change on my network settings.

I tried the Microsoft help website but according to them DirectX doesnt exist.

Where exactly are you trying to download it from?
Is this a genuine copy of Windows?
Which version?

Google gives you disambiguations...Maybe you don't have a valid copy of
Windows. :-?

If you still can't install it, check to see what version of XP you have. I would recommend being on SP 2 for a DirectX 9 installation, although not technically necessary, it would probably help. Alternatively, you could do a repair installation of Windows XP by putting in your XP disc, and choosing the install option (not the recovery console). When it says that you already have a windows xp installation in the following location "C:\windows\" or something similar to that, choose the "Repair" or "Repair Installation" option, and follow through the steps, then install DirectX
