(The file d3dx9_XX.DLL was not found)

recently when i went to run CNC 3 kanes wrath i got an error saying "The file d3dx9_XX.DLL was not found".I read elsewhere on this forum someone had the same problem with a differant game (D3DX9_27.DLL Dreamfall Game DirectX 9 Install Problems). So i decided to download and instal this so called DX9 update. But now im getting a windows interactive msg all the time saying cant display message on your desktop, when i click it i get a runtime error for "program C:windows\system32\spoolsv.exe2. Please could someone help as its driving me insane and doesnt seem to ever sort the problem.

Thanx

Hi J41981,

You need the Latest DirectX update found here: Latest DirectX Update It includes that file and updates DirectX to the latest release (August 2008)

Yup thats the one i already installed and is now causing the "cant display this message/runtime errors".

EDit OK i just checked and i dont have that update even though ive installed it 3 times now. All i can only asume is something is deleting the files as the problem is stil there.

Is it possible that your antivirus / firewall software is blocking access? I would disconnect from the internet, disable your anti-malware software, and then proceed to install the following:

DirectX 9.0c - November 2007 Release - FULL Download

See if it works.

Also ensure you didn't forget to download the latest GPU drivers.
