Tech need help with directx 9.0c

need help with directx 9.0c

i'm trying to play this game that i downloaded, gunz

it says i need directx 9.0c and i'm currently on directx 8.1

i tried downloading the program from microsoft, didn't work cause my version isn't validated or something, basically, i'm running bootleg windows xp

then i went on my laptop, downloaded it fine no problem, and sent it over to my desktop, and it still didn't install

i installed it fine on my laptop

when i try to install on desktop, it opens program, i agree to term, then it says files are completed, and it doesn't install anything..anyone know whats up?

running bootleg windows xp. MS stopped running support for pirated copies.

so i can't update directx? that's retarded

just go buy windows xp... its not that hard

you're the one that decided to pirate Win XP. WHy should MS have to cater to those that pirated their software?

Yeah no ****, go buy it like everyone else.

i'm not wasting my money on that if it's working fine for me, i guess i'll just have to stick with CS

^^^ you are the reason software costs so much.
