Problem Installing Wolfenstein

hebburnurly · 09-05-2009, 06:06 AM

When I install wolfenstein I get an error when starting the game which says:

"This application has failed to start because d3dx9_39.dll was not found"

Any help anyone?

That error message is from DirectX, and that file may be corrupted. What DirectX version are you using? You can check by going to Start>Run. Type dxdiag in the run box, and it will display the DirectX version under the System tab.

Are you using a graphics card that supports DirectX 9?

DirectX 9.0C should be included in the DVD, install it
or you can get the latest version of directX 9.0C from my sig
