Help MS FS04 won't load directx 9.0

When that sort of message has come up for me ISTR that I just ignored it and
carried on, it loaded because the message is obviously rubbish; DirectX 9 is
produced by Microsoft to work with its own OS...

When I proceeded with the installation of Direct X, by ignoring the message,
the installation continued, however, I got another message. This message
stated "Direct X Failed to load all the needed files and will not function
properly." Guess what? It was right it would not work. When I attempted
to start the game, I got yet another message, this one from FS04. "Flight
simulator 2004 can not run because the version of Direct X installed is
incompatible. Please install Direct X 9.0 from disc 1 or download a copy
from microsoft's website." Well I tried this, I spent 30 minutes downloading
a copy from microsoft, and when I attempted to load it, I got the same
message as before, "Direct X failed to load ......." Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
This silly thing is driving me nuts!!! lol

I'm open to any ideas. I eagerly await any suggestions.

Thanks, Dolby

Have you tried asking on simflight.fs2004 ?
or on alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim

'cache' is Netscape talk for 'Temporary Internet Files', I believe.

If that doesn't work, try running the diagnostic in DirectX 8 (or what
ever version that you have installed on your computer).

Good luck,

I tried clearing the cache and also running the diagnostics program
in Direct x 8.1 on my computer, everything looked ok, but guess what
still will not load all the files for direct x 9.0. It seems to me
that it might have something to do with program installation wizard.
Any ideas. Is it possible to load software without going through the\
wizard? Help. PLEASE

Thanks Dolby

Did you also delete "Temporary Internet Files" (and everything in each
sub folder) and look in the 'Temp' folder to make sure it's empty?
