Hi Piscestwin,
I am Dave, I will help you with this.
That is an error referring to DirectX 9, are you trying to play older games?
If you are, you need to install the DirectX 9 runtime from this link, then restart (not shut down) your PC:
d3dx9_43.dll is not found where to download?

Hi, I just restarted my computer and changed it back to the original factory settings but when I tried to open a game an error popped up. it said that d3dx9_43.dll is not found and I tried to look for that file but, I couldn't find it. I didn't want to download a random dll_file and can't find the one the original from windows. I also tried restarting my computer, updating it to windows 11 and going through the recovery option again as well as restarting my whole system again. What should I do and where to download to fix this problem?
