Default D3DX9_32.DLL problem in vista

I'm a user of the new vista OS, and, of course I have a lot of problems .

One of them is that in which I can't play SH4 because I need the D3DX9_32.DLL file.

In Ubi they tell us to go to directx update, but in that webpage there one links related to directx9 and for XP users.

I have directx 10 in my OS, and I don't want to update to directx9.c because it seems a nonsense.

In the SH4 it tells it is compatible with vista. Well, not compatible at all...

Can anyone help me?

You just need to install DirectX9 Version included on your SH4 DVD. It works perfectly for me (Vista Home Premium). Don't worry, it won't break anything

Thank you for answering. But, I think I won't change anything about the directx10. At least for the moment.

I'll wait for a new shiv update.

Don't work like that. Even if you have DX9c, DX10 will still be there. Had that prob to like 2 months ago or whatever when i installed Vista. Installing DX9c will only make SH4 work! nothing else. And even if DX10 would be deinstalled WHITCH IT WILL NOT! there are no games out there supporting it at the mo...NONE!



Thats what I am running...see! DX10 is still there, but i am running SH4 just fine

Yep got Vista Ultimate as well, when i installed SHIV i got a simular directx error, so installed directx 9c of the SHIV dvd. Before, I skipped it as i thought having Directx 10 is all i'll need. like the others have said you need DX9c to run SHIV

It wont wreck your Vista

I'm running Vista Home Premium 32 bit and NEVER installed DX 9 from the SH4 disc.....

SH 4 runs fine, except for the occasional CTD...but XP users have experienced those too.
