I know a lot of people tend to recommend Malwarebytes in addition to Windows Defender Security Center but I have never been able to understand why. Back in the old days having a separate Malware Checker made sense (at least, once Microsoft stopped supporting their OneCare option) but with the introduction of Windows Defender Security Center it really isn't necessary. And can interfere with the Security Center working as it is intended. There are a few articles everyone should read to better understand why I say this: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/23/introducing-windows-defender-security-center/#H1XBhutz8GHiHd4C.97 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4012986/windows-defender-track-your-device-performance-health and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi Remember: Knowledge is Power!

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/815065/what-is-a-dll Could you provide a few more details about your issue? ~bhringer

.dll is the extension for drivers. Technically it stands for "Dynamic Link Library" (which means that saying dll library is like saying dynamic link library library) and it is pretty much synonymous with the .exe (or executable) extension. I would suggest you uninstall Malwarebytes and try running Windows Defender Antivirus (and Antimalware, btw) again. Malwarebytes tends to come with a trial subscription that will shut Defender off by default.

when ever I turn the machine on. When I try to launch AVG antivirus. I have updated the C++ Microsoft Visuak C++ x86 AND x64 Redistributable to the most current version. I have checked to mae sure the MSVCR110.dll /& msvcpo110.dll are in the System32 and SysWOW64 folders and still cannot run the AVG antivrus. I even did an AVG removal tool and tried to reinstall AVG and got the same error. I then rolled back my system by using restore to a previous date and am still getting the error. The error message says I cannot run AVG because the two DLL's are missing.

Hi HoneyFriedHam, I had to call Dell to get the error corrected.  The techie said that is a problem with a microsoft update and restored my computer to a restore date of Thursday.  Which corrected the error.  He said that Microsoft is aware of the problem and should have a patch to the update within the next 5 days. Good luck

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 shows me that I have many direct X files that started missing around the same time frame. The missing files are only distributed with the OS so recovery is very difficult and this is very bad if it was caused by the update. Does anybody have more information on this?

The DirectX Web Installer does not recognise or overwrite corrupt DirectX files. It only fills in blanks. When an error specifies a DX file you can sometime delete, or move, them and then re-run the DX Web Installer and it will install new files. However, in the d3dx9.dll is not one that can be deleted, so reinstalling DX may be the better option. [ EDIT: I'm not sure if  d3d8thk.dll  comes with Win7 ?  I believe it may get installed by older games, or software that use DX8. If you still get an error for this .dll after using the DirectX installer linked below, you may need to install that separately. There should be a installer on the games disk, or in a sub-folder in the games main install folder. Or, reinstall the game/software. ] The DirectX Redist (June 2010) installer will overwrite all DX9, 10 &11  files, fixing any corrupt files - Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010) - If you have not already, restore any changes you made in Registry before

Hello Akash, Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft community. I would like to know some information about the issue so that we could help you better. Have you recently made any hardware or software changes to your computer? I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and your efforts towards resolving the issue. This issue may occur either due to corrupt program setup files or due to missing Windows files. I would suggest you to try following methods and check if it helps. Method 1: Run this Microsoft fixit and check. Refer: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall If it does not help, use method 2. Method 2: Run system file checker(SFC) and see if it helps. Refer this article: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833 System file checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for co

Hi Yvonne_345, Follow the suggestions listed below for a possible fix: Method 1: Check the behavior by booting the computer in clean boot state. You may refer the article mentioned below: How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/system_file_checker.mspx?mfr=true Let us know if this helps.

nope - it didn't help.  I have the same problem - why in the world can't someone fix this????

I really don't know why the Microsoft engaged Support Engineer "experts" seem to believe that booting in Safe Mode or Clean boot will replace a missing or corrupted DLL file - how does that work? I can also assure you with 100% certainty that running the System File Checker will not replace a missing or corrupted d3d9.dll file.  That is not how sfc /scannow works, that is not what it does and that is not what it is for. And if you do not have a genuine bootable XP installation CD that is the same Service Pack as your installed SP (most people don't) SFC is going to complain - a lot.  And that makes suggesting it even more of a wast of time. Suggesting sfc /scannow is akin to saying "I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it". If the Microsoft engaged Support Engineer "experts" would take a few minutes to recreate a problem and then try their own ideas to see if they work (and don't), either more problems would get solved faster, or people would waste less time on their ideas

Hello Botirla Marius, Perform the following troubleshooting methods: Method 1: I would suggest you to place the computer in a clean boot state and troubleshoot the issue then check if it helps. You can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Follow the steps from the link “ How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state ”, to place the computer in clean boot. Note: Follow the step “Steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state”, from the link, to place the computer to normal start. Method 2: Perform System File Check to fix the corrupted system files and then check how it works. Refer the link “ How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows XP ” to perform System File Check. Note: It may ask for windows CD to fix and to enable SFC to make more than minor repairs.

I am using service pack  3 These are my specs : Operating Sistem : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1,Build 2600) Processor : Pentium Dual Core CPU E5200  @ 2.50 Ghz ( 2 CPUs) Memory : 2048 MB RAM Directx Version : 9.0c Thanks for trying to help @Joselbarra

The daredevil that I am, in spite of warnings not to download files from untrusted sites, I downloaded that d3d9.dll file and took a look at it. While the file passes basic checks for malicious software, I don't know what version it is or who/what it belongs to (I think DirextX) but it is version this: 4.09.00.0901 On my XP Pro Service Pack 3 system, my d3d9.dll file is version thus: 5.03.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413-0845) So I don't think that is the correct file for Windows XP Service Pack3 and the d3d9.dll file is also not a registerable file anyway, to hence the error message (not all DLLs are or need to be registered). Of course we don't even know what version of XP you are running or anything else about your system. Why don't you sit tight and see what the Support Engineers who are engaged by Microsoft have to advise (I am not engaged by Microsoft).

ASK IN THE SKYPE FORUMS: http://forum.skype.com/

Did you make any changes on the computer prior to this problem? No. Neither SW nor HW changes. I cannot rule out silent Windows updates though. What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? When the fault happens, I noticed that it happens with many applications, therefore concluded that the fault is in the common part: video driver or DX9 layer. As mentioned earlier, steam games and video player (mpchc) are both impacted. Can you send us a screenshot of the pop up message that you are getting? See above. What is the make and model of your device? Standard PC (not branded).

"fourth time I've been linked that package" Yes, you did mention Web Installer, and binaries, but I thought it best to cover the bases anyway . If the DX11 games are Ok I think it's safe to say the 1060 is OK as well. - What are some of the DX9 titles ?  Retail disk do have issues not found on Steam, etc. downloads . The DX Redistrubitable (June 2010) will have overwritten all DX files to that date. The files ending in 41-43 - btw. If you are not already aware. You can delete the DX folder once the install is finalised . .

Hi, Based on the description that you provided, we need to determine the cause of this issue. Having said that, we would like to know more about this concern.

Games affected are from and not from steam; it seems to be global. Star wars Battlefront 2 was the first I played that I noticed it on, was debugging that for ages before I thought to test other games. Since then I also tried Sims 3, and The Bureau: XCOM declassified in DX9 mode, (which works properly in Dx11, which lets me know that it's not merely that I broke several game installs) each giving me (relatively) the same error that they failed to create a Dx3D device. Sims is the only one not managed by Steam, but was operating normally prior to this issue's arrival. Edit: These are just the ones I've tried recently. I checked and I would seem to have all of the dlls you mentioned, plus one or two SDK files as well, so it's likely not a missing file. I took the integrated off of Auto in bios, too, though it's still not showing up. I'll have to track down its drivers likely. Also disabled shadow cache, and enabled the two windows components you mentioned. No change. Strongly considering

The DirectX installer package (June 2010) overwrites all DX files (baring DX12), and should normally be all you need in the event of corrupt DX files. The download only unpacks the files to a folder of you choice. You have to then run the DXSETUP.exe that is in that folder to finalise the reinstall of DX (probably what you used, but... anyway.) Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010) If this has been done successfully, the error may be an indication your GTX1060 is faulting. - Try swapping over to the Intel HD530 Integrated Graphics [ EDIT: I don't see it on the report. Not supported by your motherboard, or not enabled in BIOS ? Driver not installed ? ] If there no DX9 error when running on Integrated graphics it's not looking good for the 1060. - Do you have a game that defaults to DirectX 10/11 (One with no DX9 option at all would be best) ? This could also help verify if there still an error in the DX files, or if the card is faulting. - Or try the

That marks the fourth time I've been linked that package, as well as the fourth time I extracted it to a new folder, and ran the setup. If it's really overwriting all the dlls and not skipping any, that only makes it more confusing that it's not working. Dx11 and Dx12 games and apps all work flawlessly, even now, it's only DX9 things that fail. I even tried closing literally every non-critical app running just to be doubly sure that something thought unrelated wasn't interfering, but still nothing. As for integrated, I'll root around in bios and see if they can be turned on tomorrow. I've not messed with them since I got this board a month ago; had a brand new apparently fully functioning GPU, why bother right? x_x

Same here... this started to pop up around weeks ago, never had any issues earlier. The error happens randomly . After reboot, it either works, or not, but if not, it stays broken until next reboot. Same if it works, it will work until next reboot. The fault causes error in mpc-hc (media player) and also in steam games. I am pretty sure this is either a dx 9 wrapper layer race condition bug or a video driver bug...

Gave up trying to fix it and just reinstalled windows since it was on my SSD; situation normal again after reinstalling drivers and such. Thanks for the help anyway though; I'm sure this will help anyone else who has this issue. :3 And to those of you coming after me with this issue-.... Godspeed, and good luck.

Hi, This error message may be due to some kind of problem with Microsoft DirectX. So let’s try running the Direct X Web Installer and let’s see if that resolves the issue. To download Direct X End User Runtime Web Installer, click here .

Thank you!!!! In my case, the app that was causing DX9 to "break" was MSI Afterburner.... holy $h1t!!  This has been insanely persistent issue that caused me to roll back to Win 7 about 3 times now.

I downloaded and installed the DX Setup app you referenced. The installer reported that it was successful. I restarted my PC, and I still get the same d3d9.dll errors on *any* DX9 app. It turns out, however, I have found the problem. This problem has existed since Win7 was released. d3d9.dll (6.x-10.x) is brittle and poorly written apps can screw with it, causing subsequent dx9 apps to crash. In my case, it was one of the ASUS motherboard monitoring apps that came with my motherboard. Once this app was stopped (it ran fine), other dx9 apps started working perfectly. This was a constant problem for me because I had the monitoring app running on startup. Wow, thanks ;-)

I don't understand why I have received this  why are you doing this and I run full scans 2x or more each weeks now you tell me I aa virus or something in back I don't understand please advise why I  got your letter. in a language even I can understand  Thank you

Hello Duoddreamer, Thanks for posting your question on Microsoft forms. I'm VERY VERY sorry for my extremly late reply. So I play a DirectX 9 game know as Midtown Madness 2 on my PC with no problems. I mean like what kind of games do you play which uses DirectX9? You may try a method I used for Midtown Madness 2:- 1. First GO to this Website:- https://fdossena.com/?p=wined3d/index.frag 2. Then Download either the Recommended version or The latest version. 3. After downloading the file it should be a zip file. 4. Extract it. 5. Now when you extract it you will find nearly 6-7 dll's. 6. Now go to the game folder and copy the files:- For DirectX9 games:-d3d9.dll dxgi.dll ddraw.dll libwine.dll and wined3d.dll to the games executable folder. 7. Set game compatibility to Win XP SP2. 8. Start the game. WARNING:- DO NOT COPY ANY OF THESE DLL'S TO SYSTEM32 OR SYSWOW64 FOLDERS. IT WILL DESTROY YOUR WINDOWS. Please Reply.

Do not apologize for the late reply, I'm sure the forums are full of fluff. Though do apologize for not reading the other comments that have the solution, which is to not use the MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner tools without understanding that they can cause other DX9 apps to fail.

This is still an issue to this day. MSI afterburner running in the back ground does evil things to my Euro Truck Sim 2.  In 32bit mode it would run great (D3D9).  In 64 bit it just started crashing on startup.  But in open GL mode in 64 bit work fine.  Go figure.

its RivaTuner Statistic Server; you can fix the problem with just adding Handbrake.exe to the application profiler and set the detection level to None

THANK YOU!!! The app that caused me problems was a background app called Razer Cortex, it apparently "boosts" fps in games. Along with that, a bunch of other Razer apps that I do not need/use. Most likely, it was my cousin who uses his razer keyboard on my laptop from time to time and had to download these applications. Just wanted to leave this here for the record, in case somebody had something similar. Just look through anything that may utilize directX9 on your task manager. :)

Hello there, You will need to download and install this package: DirectX End User Runtimes (dated 2010): URL: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Install and confirm all is working. Notes: Some game installers (especially on Steam) may fail to install and update their required runtimes on first launch in a newly upgraded Windows Operating system. One of these dependencies is DirectX runtimes.

Download d3d9.dll and place this file in system32 folder. Hope this solves the problem.

I am trying to load Skype but am being told that I have a fatal error in asmuch as they cannot find file d3d9.dll.  Would you please let me know what I can do about it. Annie May This is related to DirectX. Have you kept Windows up-to-date by using Automatic Updates? What version of Windows, including service pack, is installed? Click Start > Run >  dxdiag > OK  .... what is reported for DirectX version (last line of the System tab)?

update your computer and install latest version of Directx may fix the problem. IF not then write the d3dx_9.dll download in google you will get download link.download this dll and add to the system registry by left click on it(extract .rar if it is in .rar file).

neither of your methods solved the problem, i am sorry do you have another solution.????

"but the directx web isntaller says that i have a "newer or equivalent version" The Web Installer does not overwrite existing files, so will not fix a corrupt file. The full  Redist (2010) installer should overwrite all the DX files though. The 'proper free way' below - Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010) btw - A quick way to fix a corrupt DX file when an error points to a specific file is to delete (or move to desktop as backup)  that file from System32 (and SysWOW64 with 64bit Win7) and run the Web Installer to replace it with a new file. This method will not work with the d3d9.dll, (without overriding the 'Trusted Installer') but will work with the 'numbered' files such as  d3dx9_24 , etc.

I'm not sure if sfcscannow fixes DirectX file corruption ? In the event of a corrupt DX files or files reinstalling DirectX using the DirectX Redist (June 2010) installer package will replace any corrupt DX files (yes... old, but it has all DX files except DX12) Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010) - The D3D9.dll file cannot be deleted as can some of the other DX files such as d3dx9_24.dll. When an error specifies a file that can be deleted you can delete that file from both System32 and sysWOW64 and run the DirectX Web Installer ,  and it will replace the 'missing' file with a new one. This method is a bit quicker than a full reinstall of DX  ( the Web installer does not overwrite existing files as does the full installer package).

I am still having this problem and I am not using EVGA precision. Clean boot didn't help either.  I disabled EVERYthing except core Microsoft services that cannot be disabled, and the problem still happens. I also tried reinstalling DX9 but couldn't because Windows 7 already comes with DX11, which can't be uninstalled.  This is still in d3d9.dll appcrash  c0000005 Colonization.exe 1.0.0.1 49a88196 D3D9.DLL 6.1.7600.16385 4a5bd9a9 c0000005 0018e6f1 928 01caf0031ed0a600 C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Colonization\Colonization.exe C:\Windows\system32\D3D9.DLL 6e573605-5bf6-11df-8d38-001d7da2e2ba

Try reinstalling DirectX, since the DLL file it's pointing to is replated to directx. The file may have gotten corrupted or damaged somehow.

Greetings, I did an upgraded install, it was not a clean install, I did not format the drive etc.... I'll try those steps out, thankyou.

I've had 64 problems to, been told (by nVidia)  it has to do with the nVidia drivers, I was using a GTX8800

This DX install might be the solution, downloading it now. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-New-Windows-7-Direct3D-11-DirectX-11-Release-107559.shtml Seems like DX9 games die and crash in Windows 7.

Hello, I think that I have found the answer to every ones problems with Windows 7 64 bit crashing.  I have battled the crashes for a year and swapped out all kinds of hardware-video cards, reinstalled windows several times and made sure all my drivers were up to date.  None of that fixed the issue. What FIXED my crashes is adding 2g more memory.  I had 4g of ram and windows 7 would crash playing game.  After upgrading my memory from 4 to 6g my computer has been ROCK solid.  Has not crash in over 2 weeks.  I talked to a software expert were I worked and he told me that 64bit will use more memory then the 32 bit. I REALLY believe that this is the fix for most people based on all the research I have done.

No, nothing changed. This sucks.

Eriksz, When you upgraded to Windows 7 did you perform a normal install or did you do a custom (clean) install?  Here is a couple things to try. Perform a Clean Boot to just make sure nothing else is getting in the way. Create a new user and install one of the games on that user and test. Run the System File Checker and Disk Error Check Mike - Microsoft Answers Support Engineer Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

Ya I have tried, but no luck. If I go to the DX website, it tells me I have the latest DX. I tried to install the DX9 install, the install lasted 1 second and said it was complete.

Well well well..  Mike, thankyou for pointing in the right direction with regards to trouble shooting this. It turns out, after doing a clean boot, it wasn't any of the services but one of the startup items . After disbaling groups of startup applications and restarting  narrowed it down. EVGA Precision and it's Wrappers cause DirectX9 to fail on windows 7.  Well at least on my installation. Now everything works, i.e. all DX9 games. Thanks Mike.

Downloading and reinstalling a DirectX package won't help you in this special case because d3d9.dll is a Windows 7 core file (an integral part of Windows 7). You're better adviced with any kind of system repair (restore from a "good" restore point, from a system backup, using system repair options - restart with typing F8 before Windows starts - or using OEM recovery features).

Then, I actually manually copied the d3d9.dll file from the download and replaced the current d3d9.dll file, but that didn't help either. >So what is the best way to proceed? I sometimes find the solution to these problems, but it is by gambling precious time. If you don't like to gamble, reinstall the whole OS and be done with it.

1. I did not make any changes to the hardware or software prior to the original problem. 2. I am using Firefox 4.0.1 3. The exact error when trying to install DirectX is An Internal system error occurred.  Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to determine the problem. I have tried to restore the registry to the backup point I created prior to deleting the DirectX folder, but I get a message that I am unable to restore to a previous point because no changes have been made.

Hi, 1. Are you facing this issue with a particular game? 2. What is the complete error message and error code? D3d9.dll errors usually appear when a game or other software program is started. Cause of D3d9.dll Errors: D3d9.dll issues are caused in one way or another by an issue with Microsoft DirectX. The d3d9.dll file is one of many files contained in the DirectX software collection. Since DirectX is utilized by most Windows based games and advanced graphics programs, d3d9.dll errors usually show up only when using these programs. Try the following methods and check if it helps. Method 1: Restart your computer if you haven't yet. Note: The d3d9.dll error might be a fluke and a simple restart could clear it up completely. Method 2: Install the latest version of Microsoft DirectX and check if it helps.

Hi Antony , 1. When exactly do you get D3D9.DLL error? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 Hope this information is helpful.

Thanks. sfc ran with errors so I had to run DISM then when I re-ran sfc for a second time it completed successfully. After a reboot the error was no longer seen Thanks for your help

Give these a try: Method 1: I would suggest to re-register the .dll’s: 1. Click on Start, then Run. 2. Now all you have to do to register a DLL file is to type in the regsvr32 command, followed by the path of the DLL file. : regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\D3D9.dll 3. Hit OK. Method 2: If the issue does not resolve run system file checker. Sometimes this kind of unexpected behavior shown by Windows due to some missing or corrupt important system files. I would suggest you to rum Microsoft Safety Scanner SFC /SCANNOW to scan the system integration and fix system file corruption (if any). The sfc /scannow (System File Checker) command scans all protected system files, and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us Method 3: If the system file checker unable to repair corrupt files try to follow clean boot process and check the issue. Try to clean

You should run SFC scan to fix .dll error. System file check (SFC) is a utility built into the Operating System that will check for system file corruption. The sfc /scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect, corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible. When it cannot repair the damage, DISM should be run to fix as many errors as possible. 1.

Hi, Elton. Try installing the DirectX End-User Runtime from the link below. This will reinstall DX9. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail... Note that the installer will unpack the files to a location of your choice, then you'll need to run the DXSETP.exe file.

Try these first to see if they work: Open Start, type: CMD Right click CMD Click Run as administrator Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each) Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Also run the System File Checker utility: Open Start, type: CMD Right click CMD Click Run as administrator At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow This will check for any integrity violations Restart your system If that does not work, perform a repair upgrade: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki...

Mohd Monis, First thing I would suggest is getting your PC current with Windows Updates.  Service Pack 3 was released in April 08.  If you have not done any updates or limited updates since then, you should get your system updated.  If you are not prompted for any DirectX updates then you can go to this link and download the latest DirectX 9 for your system.

Solved my problem easily. Can listen to music on Itunes again, and play my video games. Thank you very much for your help.

System 32 files are Win OS files,if missing/corrupt,open cmd,type:  Sfc /Scannow   once its thru,type:  CHKDSK C: /F agree to restart,type: EXIT restart pc.The repairs are made on pc restart

i started to receive d3d9.dll error messages on startup, after i had run a CHKDSK on a startup.  In going into the System 32 files, d3d9.dll was present, but had a size of ZERO.  The system will not let me remove it, nor replace it with copies of d3d9.dll from other sources.  Says i need to have permission from "Trusted Installer", whatever that may be, even though i am doing all of this as the system administrator. I attempted the resolution above (SFC/Scannow followed by  CHKDSK C:/F) but this had no effect.  Still getting the error message Only thing I know for sure that won't work are snipping tool, and the base collection of MS Games.  I'd show the error messages, but no snip tool :) Any advice??

Hi Anar. I'm Greg, a volunteer and eight year Windows MVP who will try to help you. Have you tried updating your Display driver to the very latest on the PC or adapter's Support Downloads webpage? Make sure you have the highest Screen Resolution at Settings>System>Display. Try reinstalling the game. Uninstall, restart, reinstall. If that doesn't help then go over this Checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki... But remember that a factory or Upgrade install are inferior installs that most enthusiasts would never run in the first place because they'd expect endless issues. Most prefer to do the gold standard Clean install from this link which has no reported issues from hundreds of thousands of users: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki... There is also an automated Windows 10 Refresh which reinstalls Windows while leaving out the factory bloatware

Have you run any third party maintenance/optimizer utilities? The file is a DirectX9 dll If your PC is a laptop, install graphic drivers from that laptop maker, if its a desktop with built in graphics from the PC maker or motherboard maker, only install from Nvidia if its an actual graphics card.

Hello Paul, Thank you for keeping us updated on the issue. Did you make any software or hardware changes prior to the issue? I would suggest you to try the following steps: A missing or corrupt .dll file can be caused by any of the below possibilities. Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply, No I do not have anything like that and I also always update through Nvidia experience. I have updated my problem and apologize in advance if the new information would have shed more light on my issue had it been included earlier.

From the link at the bottom of my first post.

Not without full details of what is, or is not happening. Your title tells us as much as the image does. Also include the name of the game, and your system specifications, including brand and model graphics processor. Meanwhile, try running the DirectX Web Installer to verify your Windows has all DirectX files installed This may get you out of trouble... Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center [ EDIT: When a DX file has been corrupted you may need to reinstall DX. The Web Installer above only installs 'missing' files. To reinstall DX use the DX Redist (June 2010) below. Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010) Note - The installer download unpacks files to a location of your choice. You then open the folder and find the DXSETP.exe  and run that to reinstall DirectX. Once the reinstall is complete you can delete the folder the files were unpacked to. ] .

sir where can i download DirectX 9 10 or 11 for windows 10? thankyou sir

same problem napagana muna sayo ?

Ran Online should be able to run on Win10, and it has low enough system requirements that it should be able to run on either of your graphics processors. - Are there any patches or updates available from the developers site that you have not installed yet  ? - The drivers that are currently installed on your machine shouldn't be a problem with a game of this vintage. However, if HP has any newer Win10 drivers for your HP Notebook installing them would be advisable. - If the game is installed from a disk there could be an issue with the copy protection system. - If you have not tried using a Compatibility  option, XP sp2 may work. Using Win 98 could also help, as this forces the cpu to use only one core with the game. This is not often helpful with a game that was first released in '04 or later though. - I am not familiar with this game, but you should be able to get help on the Ran Online forums. .

sorry about that sir, its Ran Online sir,

So I finally got it to work again. I managed to restore my DirectX by following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVGpd5o6Xiw However, I restored my DirectX from the installation DVD that I had instead of uninstalling it like in the video.

Hello, I request you to uninstall and reinstall Quicken Home and check if this helps. I hope this helps you. If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you. Thank you.

The issue is resolved.  Thanks.

Is .net framework 4 installed? Looks like it may need it / requires it I think you can use this to remove Quicken as well

Just uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work.  I had to manually delete all instances of Quicken that remained after the reinstall.  I had missed a folder under roaming that prevented the reinstall from working.  Thanks for responding.

Well if anybody wants to offer real help... And it makes them feel better about it, here is another one: Problem Event Name: BEX Application Name: BridgeConstructor.exe Edit: actually ther is a lot on " d3d9.dll_unloaded" as long as i use quotes around it so i'm likely to find what the problem is on google.

Well, I guess it's a good thing that nobody here pre-judges without actually knowing situations, such as getting a preview/press copy to create YouTube video previews. In any event this is happening on quite a few games, legitimate purchase games, it is even happening on flight simulator X as well as about 15 video games on my 250+ game steam account.

The error messages says - Application Name: RimWorld232Win.exe I Google RimWorld232Win and the full first page yields nothing but torrents - https://www.google.com.au/#q=+RimWorld232Win Fault Module Name: d3d9.dll_unloaded is not found in Windows or MS Direct X. If there is only one game from a torrent , that may be all it takes. Anyway - The crashing should still nothing to worry about, unless it starts to affect other things. I have a handful of games that do the same occasionally. Most commonly with Oblivion. If the issues seems to be spreading you still may want to run a full system scan with your, AV and then again with Malware Bytes. Pre judging, maybe. There have only been three people previously this week alone needing help with pirate games. One was helped by an official MS employee, so it's cool.... .

"And if i wanted to look hard enough" That's the point. I didn't look hard at all. That page is what came up first, so it's contains the most commonly linked sites for that search (theoretically). If Bridge Constructor uses a modified d3d9_.dll,  I assume  it would normally be in the games folder in your Steam Apps\ Common folders.  If it is missing, or corrupt, then reinstalling the game may fix the issue, or you may be able to download a new copy to put in the games install folder with the games .exe. Interesting, this d3d9.dll_unloaded.  I would guess the unloaded part is there just to indicate the file is modified from the MS version, as it comes after the  extension. It would be interesting to know what it's about. EDIT:  I see you have edited while I was typing. MSE may not be enough. You really should run a scan with Malware Bytes (the most commonly suggested software to cross check with). It never hurts to double check if you start having problems after downloading anything fro

Hello, welcome to the Official Monopoly$oft game forums. The only forums I know that don't ban people for helping game pirates (just be careful not to discuss Windows Piracy as that would be frowned upon). The crashing when closing a game will sometimes happen with legitimate versions too, but with games from RimWorld232 it may just be part of the parcel, as d3d9.dll_unloaded is not a file that would be found on a non Pirates machine. I wouldn't worry about it... Well, not unless a malware/virus came with the package.

Where is #6? Where you asked in the Itunes forum?

Instead of making fun of people who r tryin to help, elder could utilize the valuable space by providing some expert advice but chooses to redicule Microsoft products n support people. Don't know why he has so much hatered for Microsoft yet seems to hang around a lot here. So instead of preaching u should move on to apple or some other **** u prefer. @glhljh: Do have any service pack installed? U can copy the .dll from a working computer which has the same version of Windows as urs and copy it to the .dll cache folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache and c:\windows\system32

d3d9.dll err msg usually indicates a problem with DirectX and or your graphics driver The other javaw.exe refers to your java installation http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Well, let's see what we know... It's some kind of computer, maybe running some kind of Windows XP. 60% of the time, it has some problem. System make and model?  Unknown. XP version?  Unknown. (if the downloaded file has no extension you will have to change the name of the file to add the proper extension to get it to work. You then need to copy/paste the downloaded file in the correct folder(s) on your system.

Please... could someone help??

Yeah - that's good. indicates a problem with DirectX and or your graphics driver The other javaw.exe refers to your java installation http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Lets see how that MCC advice works out.  They are experts! Do you want to solve it right now today or next week or never? Let's see how it goes.  Maybe you will get lucky. The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3d9.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.

so what do I do to fix it?

I'm having this issue but only with Dead island: Riptide. Any other game I play I don't get this error. Everything is up to date so there is nothing to 'update' and I even reloaded Windows on a fresh install. Windows 7 sucks. If XP supported dierctx 11 i'd go back.

No, that question/answer does not necessarily pertain with my problem. First of all, my games didn't crash, neither have I encountered an "appcrash." Also, as I stated earlier, I can't seem to update or install DirectX, and my drivers are all fully up-to-date.

Hi Shariq, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused to you. Has this problem started recently or ever since windows 10 was installed?

Flight Simulator X: http://www.fsinsider.com Do let us know if you have any further query on Windows, we are glad to assist you further.

Hi TechGuru, That's correct:  the .dll is now inoperable and another one has not been substituted.   You may find that if you install software that needs it, then the new .dll will appear and hopefully you won't get that error.  You may have in time past installed software that has since been removed, thereby leaving the .dll behind and so causing you problems. Chris

Hi TechGuru, It could well be that a Windows update made it inoperable;  strange things occur with some of these updates.   So, have you gone back to the Sim directory to see what the situation is with the d3d9.dll file?  Is the old one still there or has a new one mysteriously come in? Chris

Shariq, I just had this same problem on my Windows 10 computer and spend several hours researching different issues. I think I found a solution. It seems there is a problem between the d3d9.dll file inside the FSX install, and the actual directx that is installed with windows 10. To fix, I just followed a hunch and renamed the d3d9.dll located in the games install directory. In my case I just appended an underscore to the extension like this: "d3d9.dll_" Your file is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\d3d9.dll Try renaming and let me know if it fixes your issue. Best, -Yuriy.

Chris, The file is still there in its renamed state. I just played around with renaming it back = crash of app and a generation of event viewer entry follows: Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.62615.0, time stamp: 0x559f9a9a Faulting module name: d3d9.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x57547d4e Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00117885 Faulting process id: 0x2f68 Faulting application start time: 0x01d3568b578db120 Faulting application path: F:\Games\Steam_SSD_Library\steamapps\common\FSX\fsx.exe Faulting module path: F:\Games\Steam_SSD_Library\steamapps\common\FSX\d3d9.dll Report Id: f309d5c9-0cf4-45d1-bdc1-d1803d83155c Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: After renaming the extension back to .dll_ the issue goes away.

This d3d9.dll most often comes up if you have SweetFX or ENBSeries modules installed.  Possibly, by following TechGuru's fix by modifying the file extension (which effectively disables the .dll from working), may solve your problem. But if you have the above-mentioned modules installed, the one using that .dll will no longer work.

Chriso, Good point on the fact that renaming the dll file might break some add-on. Whats interesting though, is - I have a clean non-modified install of FSX:SE that i just downloaded off steam. The game would not launch! However, it used to work about 5-6 months ago. After renaming the file, it launched like a champ. Not sure what changed - but my guess it something to do with Microsoft's updates to Win10.

Hi, Reboot and begin tapping F8 key Select Safe Mode with Networking Download the following and run a full scan to rule out malware http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx When finished reboot Run System File Checker Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us Uninstall graphics driver in Device Manager Windows will reload the driver Go to manufacturer's website and look for updated driver Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Diagnosing-basic-problems-with-DirectX Test hard drive and look for faulty ram

Went into safe mode as suggested - funnily enough Skype opened without a problem when I clicked on it. Tried to use IE to download the scanner but it refused and IE kept jamming up so had to do it with Chrome. No viruses etc. I had already run System file checker and Direct X and came up with - "Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in CBS.Log windir Logs CBS.log" -  (forward slashes missing). However even copy and pasting the command from MSN support page I was unable to find the CBS log file or copy to Sfc details........ Even if I could I think manually repairing and finding a known good copy is probably beyond me. Looks like I need to go to my friendly repair shop.......... Thanks anyhow

This is the command needed to open CBS Log Start Orb > type cmd in the searchbox Right-click cmd in the results above > click Run as administrator At the prompt type notepad c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log then press enter What is the computer make/model? Do you have your installation DVD's?  If not, Start > Search > Type Recovery Newer units come with Recovery Software to create their own installation media They also have Recovery options to repair or recover the system to factory defaults How to extract files http://blog.nirsoft.net/2009/09/17/how-to-extract-missing-system-files-from-the-dvd-of-windows-7vista/

I wonder if all that manual fiddling is necessary?  E.g.  if the  WinSxS  had a good copy shouldn't  sfc  /scanfile=  be enough?  (I don't know but I'm itching to see that command used appropriately. ) I believe it would be dependent on how corrupted the file is and what has corrupted the file.  Occasionally sfc falls short with "cannot repair" files.

@ Smittychat Do you have W7?  E.g. to tell whether those two modules mentioned in the OP are current?  I only have W8 and can't tell from the  KB  articles what would be valid now.  I really miss the DLL Help Database.  Maybe the MBSA would help with that but I haven't got it installed in my new Surface either. FWIW in W8.1.1 I do see an update to d3d9.dll so presumably whatever that was would have updated W7 too? FileVersion:      6.3.9600.16404 (winblue_gdr.130913-2141) My only other idea was going to be to see what  dxdiag.exe  shows.  But again I can't remember exactly what we might see in there in W7 about d3d9.dll. Carry on.   ; ) TIA Robert ---

Well, i tried but still nothing. Maybe my copy of Win 7 is faulty or something... hmm this is annoying :(

Hello Jacques, I would suggest that, you may try doing an In-place Upgrade it won’t uninstall your programs only thing you will have to do is check for Windows Updates. Always take precautions and back up any important files that you want saved as sometimes things can get corrupted. Hope that helps some. Follow the steps below this will show you how to perform an In-place Upgrade. An in-place upgrade is the final alternative before you have to reinstall the operating system. Note that it takes the same amount of time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. Also, some of your customized Windows settings may be lost through this process. How to perform a repair installation of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Hope this information was helpful. Thank you.

DirectX errors can be misleading. They don't always pertain to the DX files themselves and can result from hardware not meeting a games requirements, a bug in the game, not having the current audio driver installed, or hardware faults. - If you have not updated the motherboard chipset drivers that may help. This is a group of drivers that  includes such things as the audio drivers, LAN and SATA.

Hello, sorry for not replying. Basically I tried what you suggested for me to do, but still no luck. In the end I just resulted in getting an exchange for my PC I don't know whether this error is rare or not, but it needs to be looked at by Microsoft and/or DirectX, because I guess there are other people of whom have the same problem as me, and maybe they cannot get a refund or exchange for their PC.

While you can delete many of the d3d_xx.,dll's  you cannot delete the d3d9_.dll, ( Note that get an error message that specifies an DirectX file that can be deleted you can delete the file and the Web Installer will replace the now 'missing' file with a new one.

If after reinstalling DX with the Redist you still get the same error we need to look elsewhere for the source of your problem. - Note that the Redist installer first unpacks the DX files into a folder of your choice. You then need to locate the  DXSETUP.exe to  reinstall DirectX. After reinstalling you can delete the folder the files were unpacked to. Keep the original  directx_Jun2010_redist.exe  download for future use if y
