Hello.I was trying to run a game but it said something about an d3d9 error.I search on the internet and found out some steps that i have to follow so I can fix this 

1) **Download** d3d9.zip from our server

2) Unzip the d3d9.dll file onto your computer’s hard drive

  1. Browse to c:\Windows\System32
  2. Locate the currentd3d9.dllon your system

5) Rename the current d3d9 .dll to d3d9BACKUP.dll

  1. Copy & paste the new d3d9.dll into C:\Windows\System32
  2. Click Start > Run (Or search”run” on Vista & Win7)

8 ) Type “cmd” in the box that appears

  1. Type “regsvr32 d3d9.dll” on the black screen

10) Press enter

But i can`t get through 9.I type that but it says dllregisterserver entry point was not found

How can i fix this?

I would really like to fix this.

Thanks a lot.

    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. Some files saved on your computer might get deleted when fixing corrupted files.

    **Disclaimer:**Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.

    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).
