    Direct X Problem. Please Help!

    Im installing the Direct X SDK 9 right now, and you first have to unzip all the files and then it installs them for you, but its getting stuck on this file:

    carinnards.x

    I tried to open it in notepad and i think its corrupted. Is there anywhere else i can download this file from to replace it?

    I've had 0% luck with DX. Are there any alternatives?

    openGL, it can be used on many operating systems, easier to learn, and is just as good as directx... except i beleive it is only a graphics api, while directx encompasses input network sound and so on.

    That file is just a 3D model. You don't realy need it. Can you skip that file and continue the installation?
