Update your graphics driver if you haven't already.

Sure, but it's almost safer just
not to install the DirectX version the game is shipped with [in generally] - if it's
deselectable (most setups don't give that ability to the user but rather install it by default).
This case
can [and
does often] result in those scenarios that the newer versions [especially under 7] will be replaced with the older one from the setup.
So,
if it's possible, disable the DirectX-Setup and just start the game and wait for the prompt that mentioned the missed DirectX files - they consists usually of the extensions
- D3Dx9_24.dll → *_42.dll
[18, _24 → _42]
- XAudio2_0.dll → XAudio2_5.dll
[6, _0 → _5]
- Xinput1_1.dll → Xinput1_3.dll
[3, 1_1 → 1_3]
Then, just google it - the particular extension can be freely downloaded.
Beside that,
every single extension [of the above named] is separately available - through Microsoft itself,
in order that noone has to reinstall DirectX completely - and overwrite [probably] newer versions!
Don't get me wrong, but i
can't hear it anymore - the last final DirectX
9 version [9.0c] is about nearly two years - aside from the .27-minor update last year [august if i remember correctly …]
that is already implemented into the actual DirectX 10/10.1 & 11.
I advise anybody to go this way to prevent the sheer mass of corrupted installations that are caused by the countless crappy game-install setups.
In this sense
