When I try to install Directx 9.0c I am told some cobinet files are not to be trusted, and so it could not be installed. Please help. Thank you.

Hi, please see this post

LGW

didn't work, now I'm left with no Directx... pish... oh well, I'm gonna reformat.

Before you do - try this:

Right-click on My Computer
Click on Manage
Expand Services and Applications
Click on Services
Right-click on Cryptographic Services
Click on Properties
Set the Startup type to Automatic
OK and close your way back out.

Ensure that you are up-to-date with Windows Service Packs. There are,
apparently, specific fixes in the service packs that relate to the cryptography
service and could result in its failure. I recommend enabling Automatic Updates
as well.
Run chkdsk or scandisk on your Windows
drives. Certain types of file corruption can result in this problem.
Run the System File
Checker under Windows XP to detect and repair any corruption or system
irregularities.
On Windows 9x (95, 98 and Me), hit Start,
Run and run the command "scanreg.exe
/fix".
