I had the same problem on my computer a while back. I tried everything to get rid of it, but I eventually broke down and bought a windows product key. It was something like $150. I'm still pissed about it.

It sounds like the program is in use by the system and won't go away while the drivers are in use. Try restarting in "safe" mode and then remove the program.

You may have downloaded the driver, but you didn't install it, so it wont conflict with anything. It's just sitting there on your hard drive doing nothing. If you want to find it to delete it, try starting to download it again, and either see where it's being saved, or write down the file name and search for it on your hard drive

Have you tried using Windows Update to get it?  That's how I got it and I had no problems.\n\nAs far as I know once Directx is installed it becomes part of the operating system and cannot be removed but can be replaced by newer versions.  I'm not sure what is going on but someone here must have the answer.\n\nHowever, if you are so inclined you can download a third party tool (not free, $13) to remove directx 9b.  If it works you should be able to install 9c.

Try this:\nMake sure when you go into the mouse properties that when you check the 'Snap To' option, don't just click the red X close button.  Make sure you select 'OK' to set the command, then immediately restart.  This is the only think I can think of.  If its still happening, you may want to report it to Windows.  Hopefully this helps!

Seriously get rid of windows ME downgrade to windows 98 even or upgrade. The drivers for the software will cause those type of headaches with every new piece of equipment you buy. ME has security, drivers and non-compatiablty issues.

best thing to do is get a full .iso of cd then mount that thru alcohol 120 then play\ntry mounting the main .exe file with the w3 icon

try doing a update to the video card through microsoft.   if this still does not fix the problem find updated drivers for windows 2000 for the video card.

It't pobably just protected from you deleting it so you don't mess up your game, some games only seem like they are running in windows but run in dos shell or something like that.  Theres a couple of differant ways it goes if I remember right.  \n\nEnjoy your gameing

Well, it appears that it more than likely has to do with either the Windows Installer version or account permissions on the folder where the .msi (Windows Installer) file is located. Please check the reference link that I have supplied. It explains the problem, and provides a way or two to fix it. =)

..maybe you downloaded the wrong version for your platform, that sounds a little weird. if you extracted it correctly, you should be able to run the .exe or .msi installation setup. Refer to the people you d/l the game from at a last resort.

Not sure if this will fix your problem, but give it a try - If it doesn't work, just rename the .old file to .exe.\n\nMicrosoft Snafu:\n\nTry this:\n\nclick START, RUN, type "CMD" (no quotes,) and hit ENTER.\nType "ren C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;verclsid.e...

you probably need to update your graphic card driver, go to your graphic card manufacturer's site download the latest driver for you windows version, install and reboot computer.\nIf your graphic card is a old model, no new driver or no manufacturer's site, simple uninstall graphic driver and reinstall the driver come with the card will alleviate the problem.
