Hi Niels,

I'm using Windows XP pro with service pack 1 (dutch), the problem with the
directx9 installation is that it doesn't show the following title

WinActivate, Installeren van Microsoft(R) DirectX(R), opstarten

On my computer the same windows title remains the whole time:

Installeren van Microsoft(R) DirectX(R)

So I changed that line to the following lines:

WinSetTitle, Installeren van Microsoft(R) DirectX(R),,namehack
WinWait, Installeren van Microsoft(R) DirectX(R)

Yes, latest version.

Well it's kinda tricky, the patches are correct (redownloaded them manually),
it's just the combination of the directx9 update and the dutch patches that
don't work. The patches work fine if you apply them to a "normal" windows
XP with directx 8.
