Aug 09, 2015  What I did was go to windows updateadvanced optionsview update history and find 'cumulative update for windows 10 for 64x-based systems(KB3081424).' This happens to also have a d3d9.dll in the update.

[EDIT: underscore and bold added for those who posted later and seem to have missed the main points and download links.

This DX9 error is common with games that require Direct Play to be activated, so there is really no need to stuff

around reinstalling DirectX . I had Direct Play activated from day one Win10, so missed this erroneous error message. ]

How To Install Directx 9 On Windows 10 64 Bit

DX 11.2 indicates the DX 'Feature level' your graphics card is capable of running.

DirectX 9.0 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 introduces significant improvements across its suite of APIs. DirectSound offers new audio capabilities, DirectShow accelerates video rendering hardware, and Direct3D enhances low-level graphics programmability with new programmable vertex and pixel shader 2.0 models. Nov 27, 2018  Install DirectX 9 on Windows 10 to improve performance on older video games as well as fix various issues, glitches and bugs that you might be experiencing. (if you cannot see the video, your adblocker might be preventing it from showing) This guide is valid for any older game that benefits and runs on old DirectX versions.

- It's a common misconception that Win7/8/8.1 has only DX 11, and Win10 has only DX12.
Win7/8/8.1/10 all have of DX - 9,10 and 11.

- The following is a list of the Direct X .dll's you will have when the files are up to date.
Go to the Windows / System 32 folder, (and SysWOW64 if you have 64bit).
They are in alphabetical order and will start with d3dx9 - 24 > 43 . Then d3dx10 - 33 > 43 & finally d3dx11 - 42 > 43.
There should also be - d3d9, d3d10 and d3d11 (among others).
These come before the D3Dcompilers-33>43+47.
- Win10 currently has only two d3d 12 files. One in System 32,and SysWOW64 .
- There are more DX files, but these are most of the graphics related Direct X .dll's
- When using a 'clean' Windows 10 (7 or 8) install it's advisable to run the DirectX Web Installer to 'update' DX.
Note that the Web Installer only installs 'missing' files and does not overwrite corrupt files as does

the full DX Redist installer.

- Another common misconception is that you need to install DX 9.0c to run older DX9 games. Not so.
This version has been superseded by the DX Redist (June 2010) which has all of the DX9.0c files, and more.

This installer is the best option if DirectX files are corrupted.

Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010)

Note - This is a two step process. The installer download unpacks files to a location of your choice.

You then open the folder and find the DXSETP.exe and run that to reinstall DirectX.
Once the reinstall is complete you can delete the folder the files were unpacked to.
- Another reason for DirectX errors is if your graphics processor/accelerator (either Integrated graphics or graphics card)

does not meet the specifications of the game.
- Outdated audio drivers can also cause DirectX errors in some cases.

However.... (If you are using a disk based version of FIFA 07)

FIFA '07 may be a victim of a malware that MS has built into Win10. This game uses SafeDisk copy protection,

which uses a driver titled secdrv.sys which is being blocked by MS.

I'm not sure, but this game may use a version of SafeDisk that does not rely on the secdrv.sys driver.
