(This was cross-posted to a few places and is still unsolved.)

I'm trying to play a MMORPG that attempts to download and install DirectX before it's playable, and I've been getting that error where DirectX fails to pass Windows Logo testing, and I have tried several things that're posted on the Internet (renaming catroot2, checking to make sure that Cryptographic Services is enabled/started, etc.).

My computer says that I have DirectX installed already, but the game still prompts me to download/install it, and it still doesn't pass Logo testing.








I've also found that Windows Update, whether I initiate it from Microsoft.com or from the Security Center, will not update. I have 33 updates to download, and 1 succeeds no matter how many times I try.

For both the DirectX problem and the Update problem, I have tried everything I could from this article, with no luck.

I'd also like to note that Internet Explorer's installation also gives me this error: "Setup could not verify the integrity of the file Update.inf."

x-posted all over

My division is looking at upgrading our SQL Servers from 2000 to 2005 within the next six months. The other day, my boss asked me if I could do some online research to try and find an "Upgrade Cost Estimate calculator" of some sort. From his business perspective, for any given number of factors such as # of database servers, database average size, # of objects, etc., could be punched into some kind of magical formula to output an estimated manhour cost. He figures that someone HAS to have done this sort of analysis already, and is hoping that I can find it.

Has anyone out there heard of or seen such a thing, whether it be an online estimator, a PowerPoint presentation, or even a speech from a Microsoft rep? Thanks in advance!

My dell laptop is fairly new (got in in July 06) and it started causes problems from the start without even getting on the Internet. A whole range, I could tell you them but that would take forever my main two problems:

My system/computer is deleting some stuff of mine (i.e music, word documents) (started about a month ago) I deleted that user account after all my fles got delted, it started after I did this LogMien thing with someone to detect my cd drive problem. This user account deletes and moves some of my files but I am saving them not such a big problem. Anyone know any good place to save files? I currently use GMail and eSnips.

My optical/CD drive is not being detected (Started about two months ago)

I heard the best thing to do is to some how save my files and then reinstall my Windows XP (the system or program I have) My main two questions are:

Does reinstalling Windows XP fix the optical drive?
Can I reinstall Windows XP using the WINNT32, since my CD drive is not being detected?

I cannot take it in so please don't say that as an option, any help please?

What is C:\WINDOWS\system32\fxscom.dll do I need that? It says it is missing in my Abexo
Also my internet has been not working well and very slow and sometimes I can get on, and sometimes I can't
And my computer space has been going down what could cause this?


Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition Version 2002, Service Pack 2
Computer: Dell Inspiron 6400
Memory: (c drive): 450MB (it was 4.65GB yesterday)
Broswer: FireFox 1.5 and Mozilla 1.7
What is the processor speed of your CPU?

Have you recently installed or uninstalled any software or hardware? If so, what?
A lot to save space:
(uninstalled)
Adobe Photoshop Elements
Yahtzee
MicroSoft ActiveX Control Pad (and installed)

(installed)
StartUp
ArtTray
NoteTab Light
4Tray (and uninstalled
Mozilla Thunderbird




Anti-Malware programs:
Ad Adware SE Personal
Spybot S&D
AVG
Abexo
CCleaner
AdvancedWindowsCare V2 Personal
SUPERAntiSpyware
Spyware Blaster

Some links I checked out:
WIndows Install
Windows Reinstall Two
Should that be okay?
