Trying to open vpx an error shows up: The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

Reinstalling VPX 10.5 will install directx9, which is what you are missing.

 

Or simply download it from Microsoft:

Are you using Windows 10? Then this is the right link to directx9 for Windows 10:

 

https://www.microsof...aylang=en&id=35


And you can even download the whole directx9, unpack it and install it:

Anyway if you are running Windows 10 then you should be able to install directx9.

You still need to install directx9 to have that dll :) Windows 10 comes with directx11 (or 12 in newer versions). VPX and VP99 needs directx9, and this must be installed. As I said before, you may install the full installation of VPX 10.5 which includes directx9, or simply download it from Microsoft. Since it is a new computer then I guess you have Windows 10, and you need to install directx9 from the links in post #5.

Yes, it would surely be a miracle if you get it running without Dx9 :)


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

Now we know you are using WIndows 10. The first link was for Windows 7 and older. Go to post #5 there is the link to directx9 for Windows 10. Ok, I put the link here again:

Well, you only have to install directx9. You do not need to find any file anywhere You do not need to copy anything anywhere. Just download the file from Microsoft, run it, let it do its thing, and that's it.

Please, do not copy anything anywhere, just run the file from Microsoft, that will install directx9 in your computer. And that's it. You do not need to do anything more.
