DirectX Problem Installing Expression Studio

[Brady Kelly]

I've now tried installing Expression Studio 3 three times (downloaded via
the WebSiteSpark) program. The first two I tried a mounted ISO, and for the
third, I wrote the image to CD. With all three, a few seconds after booting,
and a BSOD that requires speed-reading to comprehend, the machine restarts,
ad infinitum.

I can start in safe mode and do a system restore to a checkpoint created
yesterday, before the logged changes for today, which are "Installed
DirectX". After the restore, everything is fine.

I'm running XP SP2 on an HP Pavilion dv9205us, but had to cheat and use
drivers for another HP, as no XP drivers are available for this one. Any
advice on how to diagnose or fix this issue will be greatly appreciated.

I also have the same problem. My computer was halfway installing Expression
Studio then without warning restarted. No BSOD just restarts, and each time
windows would boot it would restart again. Had to boot into safe mode. In
event viewer it showed bugcheck 0xC000021A. So I did system restore before
the directx.

It's late tonight, so tomorrow when I get a chance I am going to remove all
codecs and anything directx related and try to install again. I'm running XP
MCE 2005 on a HP machine.
