Re: Cannot Install DirectX
Had already tried this. Although I suspect, it may have well cause the
problem to begin with. Initially, the UAC permissions screen kept popping up;
I cancel eventually; which may have corrupted any following install of
DirectX 9x.

Problem has been resolved, check next message.
