Re: Problem with DX9 (d3dx9_41) in Windows 7
Didn't find a working link to a clean reliable Windows 7 so I searched some more and found that the SysWOW64 folder in C:\Windows contains the directX dll files as well. I just deleted the d3dx9_41 and ran the Microsoft websetup for DirectX and it did the trick. Installed with no problem. Wow. So much trouble solved by deleting a corrupted file.
Thanks for you help guys. Just wanted to update this post for anyone coming after me.
