Hi,
I' m having this Problem, I'm using a HP Pavilion DV1000 with windows XP, I did try to download DirectX 9.0 but kept getting different messages saying 'a cabinet file cannot be trusted' etc, I'm fairly sure it is a problem with not having the new DirectX file, but would desperately like some help or suggestions.
Thanks for help

Here are a few solutions for the DirectX 9 "Logo Testing" error, as well as other errors when trying to install patches or updates:

Here's a quick solution to try before reading through the other steps:

1. Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
2. Double-click Services.
3. Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
4. Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start

If that doesn't work, Try the resolutions in this recently released MS article:

Hi,

Your best solution would be to repair Windows.

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall, plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
