D3dx9_33.dll Not Found

[PCMom]

I've just installed and reinstalled Creator 2009 and gotten the same error. A site search turns up this same error for other Roxio products and I tried the fix suggested. But, the Creator 2009 disc doesn't have the same file. Apparently it's a missing dll for directx9. I downloaded and ran the directx updates and still have the same error message. Any suggestions? There seem to be lots of sights to download dll's but I wouldn't know where to save it on my hard-drive or if the files are "safe".

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

 

Forgot to add ...I did download the Service Pack 2 and rebooted after each of the installs.

That dll file lives in the C:\Windows\System32 folder and is installed by MS DirectX9.0c

 

If it is missing from your computer (I presume you did set folder options to show hidden files and folders) then there is something wrong with the MS installation.

 

What sort of graphics card is in your computer? It's possible that it is not D3D capable, in which case you could have a problem with the dll
