I don't think the problem is the spaces. I think that the problem is that you need to use the proper escape sequence for the backslashes in your path eg.

string ActualPath = "D:\\Files\\a             c";

OR

string ActualPath = @"D:\Files\a             c";

Try

string ActualPath = @"D:\Files\a             c";
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(ActualPath);   
if (di.Exists)
{
   //do something
}
