How can I fix a d3dx9_33.dll error message when you install a game?

When I go to play a game that I recently installed, a system error box appears which says: the program cannot start because d3dx9_33.dll is missing on your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

What does that mean?

The error message is a bit misleading. D3dx9_33.dll is not part of the game, it is a part of DirectX 9. To reinstall DirectX 9 should solve the problem.

  • 0001 0002 error message when you install printer drivers

    I get the 0001 0002 error message when you try to install the drivers for a Canon Pixma MX892 printer. Five different Canon representatives tried to find a solution - nothing works. (It seems to be a Windows error message rather than generated by the installer of Canon).

    The error message appears when a) using the disc of Canon or the drivers of its Web site; (b) after a reboot selective; (c) when the Norton firewall is disabled; and d) each combination of a) through c). It also occurs when

    The exact time wherever it occurs during the driver installation process is when Setup "enrolled in the program of information."

    Is the exact wording of the message: an error has occurred while files were copied: 0001 0002.

    I am running Vista 32 bit and download the drivers using Firefox 18.0.2.

    After you have installed many printers without a hitch, it drives me crazy.

    Like you, I thought it was an Epson printer software installation problem and went bought a Canon.  Still I can not install two printers software.  The Epson and Canon customer service can not helped at all.  That's when I decided to contact Microsoft.

    Yes, I paid for the premium service, and I am pleased that they have set all my PC problems.  Takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete the work. I firmly believe that it is worth the money, in my case.

  • Error message when you install the printer driver

    First of all, let me tell you that I was searching and tried solutions for ten days, but can not solve the problem.

    My HP P1102w printer is three years old and is connected to my PC via a USB cable. It is not a shared printer. It worked correctly until 10 days ago. Suspecting corruption driver, I downloaded the latest version of the driver on the HP website. When you try to install it, I met with this error message:

    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    In the printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0

    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support.
    My PC OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Let me know what additional information may be required.

    Please sent me useful information.

    Thank you so much.you sent slove my problem how.

    It seems that the problem was due to corrupted driver files that were not replaced when I reloaded the drivers. I was able to solve the problem by deleting the files in the driver manually. I followed the following steps:
    step 1:
    Check out C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository and delete everything that associated the P1102w printer, such as the hp1100.inf_amd64_neutral_56c36f106bed03b4 folder. If I remember correctly, there are two or three similar files that I deleted.
    step 2:
    Then I tried * 1102 on the path c:/windows/system32 and removed from files that have been associated with the P1102W printer.
    step 3:
    I'm not sure that this step is need, or you need to do this step before the other steps. However, in this step, I ran uninstall. exe from the HP driver CD supplied with the printer. After about 10 minutes I forcely closed the uninstall.exe process in Windows Task Manager because the uninstall process seemed to be hung.
    step 4:
    I ran setup.exe from the HP CD supplied with the printer and the printer installed successfully.
    I hope this answer helps anyone with a similar problem.

    I ran sfc/scannow to repair system files

    I ran the suggestion to start installing from a command using D:/setup.exe /tempdrive:c window - it did not work.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to perform this upgrade?

    Try these suggestions:

    Error 0 x 80070005 occurs if the upgrade doesn't have permission to the folder writecertain. Try the following steps:

    Reset permissions
    ============

    1 if please download the subinacl.msi from the following link and save the patch to installation on the desktop:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4A91-93Cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en#AffinityDownloads

    2. go to your desktop and double-click on the downloaded file.
    3. Please select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the Destination folder during installation. Later, we will use this tool to reset the permissions on the current computer settings.

    4. click on the button 'Start' in the 'Search' bar type: "Notepad" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
    5. copy the following commands, and then paste them into the opened Notepad window:

    off @echo

    Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Grant = administrators = f
    Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Grant = administrators = f
    Subinacl % lecteur_systeme % /subdirectories / Grant = administrators = f

    Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Grant = system = f
    Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Grant = system = f
    Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Grant = system = f
    Subinacl % lecteur_systeme % /subdirectories / Grant = system = f

    @Echo =========================
    Completed @Echo.
    @Echo =========================
    @pause

    6. After you paste the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose "Save" when you are prompted to save the file. Type "reset.bat" as the file name and choose "Desktop" in the Panel on the left as the save location.

    7. refer to the desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then choose "Run as Administrator".
    8. you will see a window of type BACK treatment.

    NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished, you will be prompted with the message: "finished, press any key to continue."

    If the same thing happens, move to the next step.

    Run the upgrade by using the built-in Administrator

    ================================

    1. click the button start-> all programs-> Accessories.

    2. right click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".

    3. click on continue when user account control window appears.

    4 copy the following command and press ENTER:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    5 restart the computer and then log on the computer of this administrator account.

    6. run the upgrade to windows 7.

    Error code 0 x 80070005 usually indicates that you don't have enough privileges or the operation is blocked. I know, some programs (Boot Camp on a Mac PC, etc.) is not compatible with Windows 7, if you have installed these programs on the computer, you may not be able to perform the upgrade.  You should uninstall these programs before upgrading. In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

    BTW, for your references, I found similar questions:

  • Error message when you install update LR6. Message indicates there is a problem when extracting the files.

    I install the update on a 64-bit of WIndows 10 computer. I installed updates several times in the past with no problems.

    Message indicates also that I should check the available space and to write to the destination folder. I have a lot of hard disk space and have full write privileges.

    Can anyone help with this.

    Thank you all for your attempts to help. I found the problem. We recently moved to retire and have a pretty slow DSL internet provider. It turns out that even if the entire .exe file seems to have downloaded, it turns out that the file has been corrupted by bad internet connection. It's why some files are not from. The error message was unfortunately worded such that it did not seem to point to such a problem (implicit low disk space or a mistake to privilege admin).

    I solved using my Verizon service of my mobile phone as a hotspot and downloaded on my computer via my phone. Everything was installed normally after that.

    Appreciate attempts to help them.
