This has been bugging me for the longest time there has to be a fix out there somewhere and i have asked everwhere else you guys are my last hope!!!!!! There are a few problems here with JK and MotS so any ANY help will be greatly apprciated!!!!

I recently did a dual boot on my machine with Windows XP and Me. JK and MotS work great on Me except i cant play online with MotS and only MotS it says that the IP service is not available on XP however JK and MotS don't work very well but both can go online. the problem is that every time i try to run JK and MotS it says that i need to install direct x 5 even though I have Direct X 9.0c. So i installed 5 and nothing, I reinstalled 9 and different versions of 9 and still nothing, i even reinstalled my graphics card drivers and still the same message. Finally i tried re-installing JK and MotS and that still didn't work. I have been getting around it by just using the JK.exe and JKM.exe but the graphics will only be 8 bit causing poor game play. Please tell me there is a way to fix this it is really starting to annoy me. Here is my system info...

Dual Boot Windows XP and Me
Pentium III 933 MHz
512 MB ram
Nvidia GeForce MX4000 (128MB)
Direct X 9.0c installed

I will even post pictures to show you what i am going through:

The only thing i can say, is that microsoft doesnt recommend using 2 operativ systems, but microsoft made it avalible anyway.
There might be something else with the files that can be confused if you have 1 operativ system on one harddrive and the other on the other harddrive which mots not to understand that it should look for its files on D: instead of C:.
Dont take me to seriously with D drive and C drive, its just a bad though that hit me with a large hammer.

nah they are both on C: all my XP stuff is installed on G: my 2nd harddrive so i have 2 versions of JK and MotS installed and BOTH say the same thing under XP and XP only

Hmm maybe I ca nhelp ya here Andy. Idk if I can be any help
but ill try ;) . Ok do you get this message only when you try
installing it or do you get it everytime you try to load it?
im pretty much sure there is a way to skip direct x installation.

Hmmm I noticed when I tried reinstalling Jedi Knight That when it
finished there was no message to install any direct x product.
With Xp. It just finished with installation and everything. No Messages
of it nothing. Hmmm

i get this message every time i try to play... and there is a way to skip it but it causes bad graphics

I c. are the graphics that bad that you cant play dude?

well no its just that they are annoying... and over time it just gets more annoying

well like I said in a previous conversation I sadly cant help any here. :(
It could be a variety of problems. Direct x,Graphics card, Install shield(has issues with some old games from some reading Ive done) and of course windows....
