I clicked on Download (obviously). Then another page loaded and said thank you for downloading Directx 9 and below it was, Server 1 Brothersoft(US) Click to download.
So i clicked it and it askes me if i want to run it or save it, so i click run then a grey box pops up saying: The publisher could not verified. Are you sure you want to run this software? I click run. Then ANOTHER grey box pops up and says: C:\Document and Settings\sophie\local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\content.IE5\IZ864NIO\directx_9c_Dec04sdk[1].exe is not a valid Win32.
HUHHHH?????!!!! What does that mean? Please help me i really wanna play it, and i payed like 30 pounds for it! Plz help xx

1. ONLY download DirectX from Microsoft. Not some strange site.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;displaylang=en
2. If you are using Windows XP then it does not support DirectX 10 (you can't download it anyway it comes with Vista/7)
3. If you have a crappy video card then the game will not work. It likely MUST support DX8/9.
