I am not exactly sure what the hell could be causing this but I get this message when I am trying to update:

The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP.
This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator.

Fuck, I am the admin in my home. and it's a ms directx file to boot. I'm really not too good at fenagling shit like I was w/ dos, any suggestions?

Thanks. Unfortunately, the same damn message is popping up. I can't even try WoW w/out 9.0c

only other thing i can think of.... if you know the password for the real "Administrator" account that was set during install..

go into the control panel and into users/accounts... set the logon screen to the old type in method, and logout.. log in with Administrator and the pw and run the install.

this could be more accurate if i wasnt on a mac right now.

Thanks. This is certainly the issue I'm having, will give it a whirl when I get home tonight.

Edit: Method 2 worked.

Now I just have to update my 9700 pro drivers to be WoW ready, ran out of time before work this morning.
