DirectX and SP2 problems
I was reading the posts that said if DirectX would not download to just reinstall SP2. I went to the microsoft website to do this, but I keep getting an error message from ActiveX that says Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page.
I was reading the posts that said if DirectX would not download to just reinstall SP2. I went to the microsoft website to do this, but I keep getting an error message from ActiveX that says "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly." And then it just stops. It never gets far enough for me to download sp2. I also cannot upgrade to DirectX 9.0 c and I get this error message when I try to install "A cabinet file necassary for installation cannot be trusted." I am one of the people who are dying to play sims 2 but are hindered by problems with DirectX. Someone please help me!!!!!

Is this PC a domain member? It sounds like there may be policies in effect that do not include some 3rd party CA servers.
Thought this might prove helpful......

With DirectX 9.0 Summer Update 2004, we added a check for valid digitial
signatures on the .CAB files for the DirectX 9.0c Redist. This was done as
part of new security ship requirements for all Microsoft products. Some
users have reported recieving the error "A cabinet file is necessary for
installation and cannot be trusted." when trying to install the end-user
distribution or products that include the redist. In these cases, the
digitial signatures are valid, but the installation still fails.
The most likely cause for this problem is that the Cryptographic services
required to perform the validation have been disabled or corrupted on the
system.
If you have FAT drives, you should start by running scandisk to ensure there
are no corrupt system files.
On Windows XP, there are two KB articles provide detailed instructions on
how to resolve issues with the cryptographic services: KB 813442, 822798
- http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;813442
- http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;822798
- Other options for Windows XP would be to try to install XP SP2, which may
be able to correct the cryptographic services problem and installs the
DirectX 9.0c runtimes.
On Windows 98/ME, you should try going to Start/Run and executing the
command "scanreg.exe /fix"
