Beschenkt die Starken!
Schröpft die Schwachen,
und die Armen schlagt ans Kreuz!

Hope this might help.

If your drivers are authenticated by Microsoft, then DX9 may try to
verify if they have expired by connecting to the following URL
crl.Microsoft.com. This is a Microsoft Certification check for
expiration of Certificate site. This could be triggered when the demo
is run, as it interfaces with the video and sound drivers installed in
Windows. This feature of Windows can be turned off in the following
way:


Start Internet explorer and click...


Tools | Internet Options


Click the ADVANCED TAB, then scroll down to Security:

UNCHECK the boxes that say "CHECK FOR PUBLISHERS CERTIFICATE
REVOCATION" and "CHECK FOR SERVERS CERTIFICATE REVOCATION(requires
restart)"

This will stop Windows from trying the verify if a certificated
drivers certificate has expired or not.
