Logo testing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I recently installed XP Pro on a system and am the only user therefore I am and have a "COMPUTER ADMIN" account. While trying to reinstall DX9.0b on the system I get a pop-up telling me the software did not pass the Windows Logo Test...... and that I should contact my computer admin.

Ummmm excuse me MICROSOFT DIRECT X 9.0B DOES NOT PASS THE WINDOWS LOGO TEST?!?!?!?!



Anyway, I contacted myself and want to install DX9 so I went into the driver Signing option and selected "Ignore - Install the software anyway and don't ask for my approval.", then I reset the machine and of course it happened again.

So is there any REAL way around this logo test or am I screwed?

Follow this:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/
Look for "When installing an update you receive the following message:
"Software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing""

Otherwise follow the windows Update Checklist:
