Look for the files with google and add them to system 32 folder.

Have you thought of the fact that the exact error messages is relevant to solving the issue? And it's not "some dll or something", that file is your problem so actually telling us which dll helps a lot.

this application failed to start becasue d3dx9_35.dll was not found reinstalling might fix this problem

[Mussels]

reinstall directX. D3Dx9 - direct3D version9 is missing....

[JrRacinFan]

Yup, exactly what I said above! Time to install the November update.

They do update DX and they don't give it a new name(Which I don't understand)

This game is awesome, I played it for 7 hours straight yesterday!

i think it a a great rpg it is also a long game i think 80hrs people have been reported its not as visually stunning as oblivion but any new graphics card could handle it with EVERYTHING on max no sweat, the combat system is refreshing and i am very pleased so far although the voice acting leaves something to be desired, if your a fan of oblivion or fable and other rpg's along those lines i would recommend this, this game can be quite a challenge if you play it on hard although it is worth it, the battle sequences are fluid and are not choppy, also the npc's sport some interesting and funny insults before you kick their arses phrases like "your mother sucks dwarven cock" its a fun game and you can choose if you wanna move with the wasd keys or just the mouse which was a nice touch one down side to it is the loading times which are pretty bad when your going in and out of houses constantly, not quite a bad as oblivion could be sometimes but there tolerable
