The latest redist package: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/DirectX-9.0c-Redistributable.shtml
Try searching for d3dx9_ on your hard drive you should get a list of dll-files.
Take the one with the highest number in it like d3dx9_31.dll and make a copy of it in the same directory it is in. Then rename it to d3dx9_32.dll.
Then try to run the game. You use an older version of directx but i don't think that is a problem.
Let us know if it works
I got the same problem.
But when I did as you wrote it doesn't work anyway. Instead of starting whit the allready written error, it closes the startup whitout saying nothing
To you as well and welcome to CivfanaticsHappy New Years to everyone!

Start -> Run -> regeditThe patch makes my PC think I have version 1.74 loaded. I cannot re-load version 1.61 unless I uninstall 1.61. I had trouble so I deleted every file my search could find for civ4, civilization, sid meier's, xfire. There is still a file somewhere that makes the PC think I have 1.74 loaded. Any idea what the file name would be? All I want to do is re-load version 1.61.
try to use this one instead:

it is an auto-extracting file.. so after you run it, you have to go to the directory you specified, and run the DXSETUP.exe that is found inside that dir
You guys do a great job. It's really nice when you have a problem to come to this site and see the problem listed and solved without having to ask. (Though it helps not to be the very first person with the problem!)
