Any way i can transfer a download from one computer to another computer that doesn't have internet access?
-
my parents have 2 computers, one is a windows 98 and one that is an xp. i wish to use the xp because its more updated and is faster, but unfortunately its internet card or whatever it was, was fried when lightning struck the house. it works great, it just cant access internet. the windows 98 is able to access internet but not really able to get on some sites without reading that i need to update. both firefox and IE, so i have to constantly go back and forth to access sites like myspace and games. but my problem is, i wanted to play my favorite game that i bought from the store, but in order to play it i need to have a computer with a dvd-rom and has directx 9c on it. so that means i have to use my xp which has a dvd-rom. but the problem is, that computer does not have directx 9c on it. so i cant access internet to download it. is there a way i can get directx 9c from my other computer, by download it from a site onto my usb flash drive thingy and transferring it onto my other computer. or do i buy one from a store to load it onto my computer...i don't know exactly. but if so, how much does it cost. so can anyone tell me what i can do...i would greatly appreciate it.

Answer:
you could use a usb transfer cable, a datastick, an external hard drive or if both computers have network cards you could plug a network cable between the two

I believe on your game dvd, there is directx 9 on the dvd. So whenever you installing the game, you also installing the directx 9 or unless you install the directx 9 manually from the dvd by browsing it through the dvd. And furthermore, like you said before, you may also use this alternative 'is there a way i can get directx 9c from my other computer, by download it from a site onto my usb flash drive thingy and transferring it onto my other computer.' Thank you
you will most likely run into issues with windows 98 and hooking up usb devices. Why not instead purchase a replacement such as this http://www.amazon.com/Dynex-Gigabit-Desktop-Adapter-DX-PCIGB/dp/B001M5K8XQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270192319&sr=8-1 or if you have wireless you can buy a wireless card such as this http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN353G-802-11g-Wireless-Internet/dp/B0014ZEF56/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1270192319&sr=8-2 or something like this for usb http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-USB-100Mbps-Adapter-TU2-ET100/dp/B00007IFED/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270192462&sr=8-2 or this http://www.amazon.com/Medialink-Wireless-Adapter-802-11g-Compatible/dp/B001DKBNMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270192510&sr=8-1
In your Game CD/DVD, there should be a folder named DirectX, copy that folder to the PC that you want it installed on and run it. It should update all file to DirectX9. Or get a USB-USB cable
