How to Fix D3d.dll Error in Windows 10
Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I get this message when I try to run the exe file to start a game: d3dx9_43.dll How can I fix this?” – Marcel H., Australia
Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
- Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
- Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
Wally’s Answer: DirectX related errors do occasionally appear in the context of video games. They are usually no big deal. Simply installing DirectX Runtime from Microsoft’s own website fixes this problem in most cases.
