My screen to count keeps blinking and I get the above message. I'm trying to update my activex announcement of directx, but nothing works.

Hello
I keep getting error messages when I use the computer. It started two days after you download an update from Windows. A sample of the error is:
C:\windows\system32\difxapi32.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
I use a vista. I don't know how to solve this problem, many want to help.
Thank you.
Hi Colinthebrave:
Start with this little tool to help get rid of the error, once your system is stable again and then try to run your updates again.

o The System Restore tool
If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.
3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
4. click on finish.
The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

Original title: can not play Age Of Empires 3 on Windows 7 64 bit
I recently downloaded aoe 3 games for windows program, see the list also useful with Windows 7.
Download fine, as does the installation but I have a very big problem all I get when I try and run all the extensions of aoe 3 is the following error
c:\windows\system32\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
The file in question is there I tried to delete it using the program dxwebsetup or one that comes with the download aoe3 however both reinstall the same file accurate return.
I have try the .exe running in all sorts of compatibility mode as well as manually from the install in compatibility mode. all I get is the same error each time. I ran the esfile auditor and lists some invalid files, I guess it's because they are cracked to work without the cd files. I downloaded the game 3 times now.
My drivers are all upward to date, research on the internet I can't find a lot of information, a lot of links goto the forums on agecommunity.com but they are no longer works.
I am really stuck and would appreciate any help thanks

sasnative32 not found
I'm running Windows SP2 of Visa and get the following message is displayed at startup:
'sasnative32 file not found that autocheck ignored. '
I found this message in the registry and deleted but it keeps reappearing.
It does not seem to cause operational problems, but I want to fix. Any suggestions?
The BootExecute key should contain autocheck autochk *. This measure of Chkdsk to run at startup.
You have all Tune Up or optimization programs installed? It is possible, it is distributed with a different brand.
You can determine what is written in the registry key by using the Process Monitor program
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645
If you have not used before, there is an introduction to use it here:
If the value has been restored in the register at the time wherever you can connect, you will need to use logging to start. This can significantly slow down the boot.
You may be able to determine what is responsible for disabling the departure of items using msconfig.

I can't access my hotmail account among some other sites since the upgrade to 3.6.8 on my macbook. I get the following message: "the proxy server refuses connections. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server refusing connections. Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is running. "I can not even find the proxy settings more.
Windows: Tools > Options > advanced > network > settings
OSX: Firefox > Preferences > advanced > network > settings
Linux: edition > Preferences > advanced > network > settings
Set your settings to connect to the 'No proxy', if you are not using a proxy.Firefox 3.6.6 added a new preference for connection settings, use proxy Panel"system settings", and the default value is the point. " This new preference does not affect most users, because they probably do not have a proxy set in place in their operating system. Therefore, most users should use the setting "no proxy".

=====================================
MP3 files can be problematic in Movie Maker...
Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMA
format before you import into Movie Maker.There are many converters available on the net... the
the following link is an example:(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)Format Factory (freeware)
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
(the 'direct link' is faster)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)
(Windows XP / Vista / 7)First... after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)Drag and drop your music files on the main screen...
Select "while"WMA"/ OK...
Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...
That should do it...
