Civilization IV making me ANGRY help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[N11]

Ok I fixed my last problem and it was working, so I updated the game, all went fine, but then when I launched it again after updating, this message is all that came up, "This application has failed to start because D3DX9_32.DLL was not found. Re-instlling the application may fix this problem." So I re-insalled the WHOLE ENTIRE GAME again and it worked fine, I then updated it, went fine, and then this message came up when launching, "This application has failed to start because D3DX9_32.DLL was not found. Re-instlling the application may fix this problem," making me wanna kill myself!!!
or someone else

This is so frustrating, it's just one problem after another, I'd like to thank everyone for the help last time and for reading this time.

Thank you.

check with windows updates to see if you have the newest version of direct-x installed.

[N11]

Thanks for the tip, I'm trying to update now to see if it works.

[pharoah]

if that doesnt work i am going to attach the dll file you need.just download it,and drop it in system 32 windows folder after you unzip it.

[N11]

I updated, it wasn't direct-x (the update), is there a way to specificaly check if I have the latest one or to download the latest one?

I tried to launch the game, same problem. :(

I opened what you sent, what do I do with it now? (sorry, me and computers don't mix too well) :S

[pharoah]

my computer,c:,windows.open the windows folder,and drop that in system 32.

[N11]

In explore all users I found a file called system 32 with loads of subfolder file things, shall i drag it in there? sorry to leave so many messages, I just keep finding new stuff.

[pharoah]

system32 just drop it there no subfolders.

[N11]

I followed your step by step and I'm a bit stuck, im in c drive but where's windows.open?

[pharoah]

what? windows.open no such thing.i said open the windows folder look for system 32,and drop that dll file inside system32.

[N11]

Oh, sorry, I'm realy slow, where's the windows folder? I have the c drive thing open and I can't see it, thank you very much for your patience, I'm trying my best but I just suck at computers :P

I did manage to find system32 by right clicking start and clicking explore all users but I don't know what I'm doing so I' trying to follow your way.

[N11]

oooooooooooooooooooh, sorry, I didn't know I had to click the button, "show the contents of this drive," sorry, now I see it fine :)

[pharoah]

if you have found system32 with windows explorer.just drop that dll file in it from the windows explorer.

[N11]

[pharoah]

restart the computer then try to play the game.

[N11]
