ok here's the situation:

1.pirated game.
2.pirated windows.

I don't think it is ok to tell you the turn around but you can download latest directx from other sites too or even from torrent sites.

I am 200% sure the game you have has many viruses.

better do one thing.
Update ur windows with latest directX........and check ur directX version using.

start-->>run-->> type dxdiag press enter
you will get all info regarding your DirectX installed.

if that don't help...than it is problem with ur Game CD.

bah do c:\dx and extract then go to c:\dx and click the setup.exe.Man Can't believe it!


My 2 cents do a clean install and then reinstall everything all over again.

Extract any where. Say in my document/directX

Than open that folder..and click on setup file.
Run the setup..and restart the system.
