Two Worlds- problem with sound, unable to update Directx


I'm a big fan of RPG's such as Oblivion, and the Gothic series
(although they can be buggy as hell and a little difficult to
configure to run smoothly)- anyway, I thought Two Worlds looked like a
good one to try. I guess it's pretty famous for video and audio
problems on anything except brand new machines or Fresh installs of
windows XP . Has anyone here had any luck getting the sound to work in
the game?
My Machine-
Asus motherboard with AMD64 3500 running at 2.2 Ghz
2 gigbyte RAM (approved for this board)
Nvidia 8500 GTS w/512Mb
Audigy2 sound

Oblivion and Gothic3 run smoothly and no problems of any kind with the
machine- no crashes, hangups,.... stable system.
However, I am unable to update my DirectX. Dxdiag says I have v9.0c
which is what Two Worlds requires, but, when I try to update with the
version that comes with the game, I get an internal error and it
fails.
