I don't know if you solved your Directx problems but here is how you do it, if you are still interested.


Use your Windows Explorer [click Start>Acessories and look for it there] utility to open C:WindowsSystem32 and see if d3dx9_31.dll and d3dx9_32.dll are listed [neither one was on my brand new Vista machine!]

So if not go online, enter those Directx upgrades identifications [one at a time] in the search engine of your choice, and then download them and then transfer them to C:WindowsSystem32

That's all there is to it.

Umm . . . better yet go here:

and perform a complete Directx 9 install. A fellow DBPro user by the name of Benjamin just provided me with that link and bit of sage advice . . . which I followed.

Eternal student in search of knowledge. But will settle for the occasional epiphany.
