Tried uploading Directx 9.0c from the MS website several times. Each time the upload stops and states that DX 9.0 failed to install. I have all my system anti-virus programs turned off during each attempt. From what I can see is that it fails during (I think) the .dll files. Need DX 9.0 for AOE 3 that I purchased for the spouse this X-mas. My system is a DELL 2.4, ATI Radeon ddr 9700, (on mb) 256 ram (shared). Have posted to other website forms but have had no responses. Please help. Thanks!
