How to fix D3dx9_35.dll Not Found error in XP

[Eleazar]

hi,

Whenever I start any game application, initially game loads properly and soon after that an error popups saying similar to something like "D3dx9_35.dll Not Found" or "File d3dx9_35.dll not found" / "The file d3dx9_35.dll is missing" just before the game starts. What can be the reson for this ? and how can I fix the same ?
Any ideas..... please help

Usually, D3dx9_35.dll errors appear when a software program, normally a game, is started.
In non-game applications, a d3dx9_35.dll error might appear before certain advanced graphics features of the program are used or, like in many games, as soon as the program is started.

D3dx9_35.dll issues are caused in one way or the another by a single issue - some kind of problem with Microsoft DirectX 9.

The d3dx9_35.dll file is one of many files contained in the DirectX 9 software collection. Since DirectX is utilized by most Windows based games and advanced graphics programs, d3dx9_35.dll errors usually show up only when using these programs.

One of the ways to fix such errors is to - Install the latest version of Microsoft DirectX 9. Chances are, upgrading to the latest version of DirectX 9 will fix the d3dx9_35.dll not found error.

Note: Microsoft often releases updates to DirectX 9 without updating the version number or letter so be sure to install the latest release even if your version is technically the same.

Assuming the latest DirectX version from Microsoft doesn't fix the d3dx9_35.dll error you're receiving, look for a DirectX installation program on your game or application CD or DVD. Usually, if a game or other program utilizes DirectX, the software developers will include a copy of DirectX on the installation disc.Sometimes, though not often, the DirectX version included on the disc is a better fit for the program than the latest version available online.

You can uninstall the game or software program and then reinstall it again. I think something might have happened to the files in the program that work with d3dx9_35.dll and a reinstall could do the trick......
goodluck..
