D3dx9_34.dll?

I have this problem.. when i finished installed and wanna play it.. a message appear said:

"This application has failed to start because d3dx9_34.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem".

I had reinstalled it several times and the problem still occur. My friend has the same problem too.

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

It happen to me too, i think you need windowsXP or Vista. I am using windows98se, and i am able to have D3DX9_32.DLL, but not 34. I think 34 is for a higher OS.

"I have this problem.. when i finished installed and wanna play it"...

You want to play what? This is a laptop. How much memory is installed in the system? Select Start, Run and enter "dxdiag" without the quotes. Tell us what you see

I still dont see why people would want to play games on a laptop, seriously.

I agree Tha General,
but some have only a laptop and no desktop. Maxing out the memory and updating video card drivers to the latest versions are the only realistic things that can be done to a laptop to improve gaming, and overall performance

I had this problem too...and thought it was the cause of my computer crashing during games\graphic intensive programs. Turned out it was the voltage defaults for my ram...BIOS default was set to 1.8v and I had to manually change to 1.9v - stabilized computer for one card but still having trouble getting dual sli cards working.

thrower1...

"stabilized computer for one card but still having trouble getting dual sli cards working"...

On a laptop??

Serious? I think i need to try it. I thought D3DX9_34.DLL was a xp or vista file. maybe i need to try it out on wind9x, i'm trying to play a game that requires the file or it says its missing.

I hv download the file edi....but cant start the game. Where u put it ?
i drag it in windows/system32/directx/dinput...is it rite ?

just download the latest dx9 and install, it's less of a hassle

Ya...i hv download edi...but its cant install wan. Its onlu a file tat cab drag into the system folder.
I hv drag into it...but still cant open my game .

Teranius...thanks ya !
After i download it...can the problem solve after installation?

Wanna ask u...u got play NFS Prosteet or not ?

My problem (d3dx9_34.ddl missing) incureed in tis game . ( NFS Prostreet )

When i install...it pop out tis msg "Please type the location where u wan to place the extracted files" so...where should i extracted it ?
In the C:/system32/directx or in the game folder ?

yeah, im playing it.

it's asking you where to extract the .exe file, so anywhere should be fine, even on your desktop

Yeah, I usually place it in C:\1 or something so that I don't leave it there once it has been installed. Nice that it does not require any reboots.

Even for vista you should download the latest dx9 updates.

So...after i extract it...wat should i do ?
there got many version of directx rar folder...

Run dxsetup.exe which should be in that directory.

Oh...yaya. I hv install edi. But when i wanna start my game ( NFS Prostreet ) its pop out the same msg again. ( d3dx9_34.dll not found )

If i format my pc then install both agian will better 4 me ?

first try uninstalling and reinstalling pro street

d3dx9_34.dll is included in DirectX redist June 2007 and newer.

November 2007 DirectX redistributable (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1A2393C0-1B2F-428E-BD79-02DF977D17B8&displaylang=en)

Would it be too much to ask to use a spellchecker?

Ok...i will try it.
But i hv chaeck my directx version...Directx 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) is it the newer edi ?

I hv try to install...but oso cant use .
Now when i start the game the msg didn pop out edi...but once i start it will auto restart my pc. I hv try many times oso same.
U all noe y ?...wats the problem ? Pls tell & teach me ....thank u!

Does it only restart when you enter the game?

...oh god, this took me a while...
It's important to note that I'm using Vista Home Premium edition. I downloaded the DirectX 9c package (November_2007), and excitedly waited so that I could play Call of Duty 4. Needless to say, I ran into the same issue.
Here's what to do...
When it asks for an install location, choose a "temp" folder on C:\ .
Then, when it's finished installing to this "temp" location, go in and find the 'd3dx9_34.cab' file.
Double click, and open. Inside you'll find the d3dx9_34.dll file. Right click on the file and choose extract. A dialogue box will then ask you where you would like to extract it.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\en-US\ and extract away!
You don't even have to restart Vista. Just refresh the folder.

Hope this helps...by the way....this game freakin' rulz!

You are using Vista. Vista uses DX10 not DX9...

oh, to the contrary...I'll send a screenshot if I need to...but, I'm using both.
...and they're quite compatible with one another.
DirectX 9 or 10 has nothing to do with the operating system. It has to do with how your GPU talks to the operating system.
Both work fine on Vista.
..thanks for the reply!

i have tried everything and its still not working!

after puting the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\en-us and refreshing the folder it still gives the same msg when trying to run the game

You simply need to get the file, and put it in the right place on your OS.

For vista it should go in C:\Windows\System32\en-US\ as code_puncher previously said, and this post pretty much sums up ever possible way to get the file where it needs to be for just about any OS. If your having trouble simply read the post.

This is backwards... do the opposite of that
