Before I start I just NEED to say I'm not very good with computers, and I'm not sure if this even goes here. I have recently been trying to install DirectX 9.0c and I walked away from my computer and when I came back it told me to "Please type the location where you want to put the extracted files." Then it gives me the option to type in a file or browse for a file. I'm not in the mood to SCREW up my computer so I'm not going to do it until I know for sure that I'm doing the right thing. The system information that I currently know is: I have a Sony Vaio laptop with NVIDIA Ge Force Go 7400 graphics card and I think I think I am running DirectX 9.0b but I am not sure. I really COULD use some help thanks.Please I really need help, if this isn't the right spot or if you need more info just tell me.From a command prompt WINDOWS type in dxdiag. It will identify the DIRECT X version you are using.

You can install Direct X painlessly from the Microsoft Update site if you have a legal version of XP. You have that, right?also, some games come with a directX 9.0c installer.If it still happens, use the location C:\temp
C:\temp is the default for extracted files...
I do have a legal windows xp and this is from microsoft. None of the games I have DirectX 9.0c installer. I'll try the file and I'll tell you if it doesn't work. Thanks.if there is no other way to attain directX 9.0c, Hitman:Blood Money has a directX9.0c installer.Well this is how it turned out: I tried putting the files in C:\temp and it didn't work. So then I tried clicking on the install button again and it just automatically worked. Thanks for helping.
