Have you tried installing DirectX9?

It is available here.

You don't installed DX9.0c, You install the runtime update. It's updated
every quarter and games like FEAR and BF2142 will install it, when you
install the games.

I hope this isn't the fix of searching the internet for a lone file and copy
it in. Why not just installed the DX9 update, the way it was meant to work.
