DIREXT X file d3d9.dll is missing __baz

Hey barriekibble,

D3d9.dll errors usually appear when a game or other software program is started.

Cause of D3d9.dll Errors

D3d9.dll issues are caused in one way or another by an issue with Microsoft DirectX.

The d3d9.dll file is one of many files contained in the DirectX software collection. Since DirectX is utilized by most Windows based games and advanced graphics programs, d3d9.dll errors usually show up only when using these programs.

Important Note: Do not download the d3d9.dll DLL file individually from any "DLL download site."

Note: If you've already downloaded d3d9.dll from one of those DLL download sites, remove it from wherever you put it and continue with these steps.

1.   Restart your computer if you haven't yet.

The d3d9.dll error might be a fluke and a simple restart could clear it up completely.

2.   Install the latest version of Microsoft DirectX. Chances are, upgrading to the latest version of DirectX will fix the d3d9.dll not found error.

3.   Assuming the latest DirectX version from Microsoft doesn't fix the d3d9.dll error you're receiving, look for a DirectX installation program on your game or application CD or DVD. Usually, if a game or other program utilizes DirectX, the software developers will include a copy of DirectX on the installation disc.

Sometimes, though not often, the DirectX version included on the disc is a better fit for the program than the latest version available online.

4.   Also, download and install the latest video card drivers from the manufacturer’s site and check.
