Hi I am running windows XP which has Directx8.1 installed as standard however i recently got jedi academy which requires DirectX9 to be instaled. When I try to install it I get an error message saying "This version of DirectX is not compatible with the version of windows currently installed on the system" I am assured I have a legal version of windows so dont know were the problem is. I have tried multiple sources for the installation including microsofts website, but all the installations fail. I cannot find any one who seems to know how to solve this, so please help.

There've been some issues with DirectX 9a. Are you running 9a or 9b (the latest)?

PS--What I meant to say was try downloading latest version in any case.
