Hey, I just got an nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS, and just insalled the Lost Planed DX10 demo. When I tried to run it I got this error (Picture attached). From what I remember, this means my DX is out of date/not even there, so I did a lot of searching...and couldn't find a thing. Could someone direct me to the DX10 downloads (And if thats not the problem, if you know what it is any help is appreciated)

Uh... vista comes with dx 10, no need to install :S If you don't have vista, I'm afraid your in for a very long wait for dx 10... in fact, you'll never see dx 10 on xp

Just repair the install or search for the specific .DLL
Since directX9.0c there have been funky things happening with installs. I wound up with almost the same file on my fresh install of winxp sp2 and directX9.0c(4.09.0000.0904)

The miisng file was d3dx9_33.dll

Even the repair didn't fix it. I then uninstalled directX completely and tried a more recent release. Again No Joy. I figured perhaps it was part of the SDK so I installed that. still missing. Finally I just searched for the DLL on google, and everything has been fine since.

Do you know where I could find the dll and how to replace it?
Edit: I found the DLL online, but I'm not sure where to put it on my PC, but I'll look around and hope to find something while I wait for a response.

http://www.microsoft.com/directx

if you download the redist for directx9 on Vista it also detects and updates Dx10 and Managed DX (aka XNA Framework 1.0)

the direct link, but it was available to get it from that page at the bottom. Also if you make sure that automatic updates are on it should upgrade as required.

Thanks! I was able to find the DLL I needed online, and I placed it there, and bam...it worked! Now I can actually enjoy DX10 games/demos.
