I recently donloaded the free vesion of DBP and whenever i try to start a program a message appears telling me that it cant start because d3dx9_35.dll is missing from the computer. It says i should try reinstalling the program but iv already tried that 4 times and the message still appears, is anybody else having a problem similar to this and would you know of anything i could do to fix it?

Try downloading the file from here and put it in your System32 directory (assuming you're running windows 32 bit):

Yeah, I wouldn't do that. I'd do it properly like GG suggested.

Yeah, that's a much better solution. I tend to forget the easy way to do things...

Glad you solved your problem!
