    another way to solve this problem:

    download d3dx9_43.dll file

    http://en.mlfdll.com/d3dx9_43.dll

    and put it in game directory or in “c:windowssystem32” folder

  4. osama algendy

    another solution is to download d3dx9_43.dll
    and replace it in “C:WindowsSystem32” folder
    then the error will disappear ..

    Saw the same tutorial on another site so tried it but had no luck, but thanks to this one giving a direct link at the top to the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer, I managed to do it again, only this time properly, I am now very happy to say I can play Morrowind GOTY even I it refuses to acknowledge my joy-pad’s thumbstick’s existence :L Again, many thanks to the website and finder of the solution 🙂 happy Garion
