ive searched 4 all the .cab files but i dont know how 2 tell if they have errors or not
Please help

Hmmmm, HL2 should have recognized the prob when you tried to install, and yeah, I know, it takes forever. :x

Anyhow, if you're having a prob getting DX9 to work, dwnld the developers copy of DX9, then install from your HDD, many times files get pooched in the dwnld/web-install from M$. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;displaylang=en

Now, if you have a legit copy of XP, there will be no probs getting that file. If you don't, and that's the prob in the first place, you're on your own.

cant pooch it thax anyway its probly my computer
