I'm not exactly sure this is the right place to post this thread, but I've been having trouble upgrading from Direct X 8 to Direct X 9.0 on my Windows XP machine.

It says it's unable to find a specific string in a direct X 8 CAB file. I've tried reinstalling windows, and I've tried three different packages for the install. A web distribution from Microsoft's site, a redist package from Microsoft's site, and a DX9.0 installer found on the Enter The Matrix game CD.

The people at tech support told me to low level format my HDD and reinstall everything.

Followup:
I guess I should have posted this under the Windows form, but any help is still very appreciated.
