i have the same problem with many of my drivers when i try to install
winsp2.

Try to restore the system to an earlier date. the date before you install
winsp2.
If that can't help, this mean you have to re-install again your windows xp.

same here...
as far as i know...this has to do with ur winxp copy. if u use pirated soft..it will happen. try installing xp updates first, then dx9. personally, i still use dx9b. i asked bout this in other tech forums, but no reliable answer so far.
