i keep getting this error when i try to start digital earthworks. any ideas?

"the program cant start because d3dx9_33.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

i have re installed the program 3 times to no avail.

Its from DirectX 9, so you probably need to reinstall the DirectX end-user runtime from Microsoft's site.  Hopefully that helps.

thanks.

works like a charm, now the game crashes when i try and load my beta track. im going to read through the forums to try and find a solution.

It could be that you're trying to load a freeride track that has a start gate object placed.  Since splines were introduced, the start gate object will crash the game if a spline doesn't exist with it.

i found out i was loading the wrong beta slot, i was trying to load sx 1 when my track was freestyle 1. DE is a bit different than dillo (lol) ill figure the rest of this out. pretty cool to ride one of my old mcm2 maps in reflex tho. now if i could only find some more spare time...

lol ahh ok Good to know you got it sorted.  Looking forward to seeing your track, I remember riding some nice stuff from you back in the day.

thanks man. Im actually doing a V2 of ONE FIX SX from a contest i entered it in back in the day. I believe it placed second behind my buddy aheadbmx's track. Im adding some new stuff and changing it around. Im having so much fun lol!
