Microsoft DirectX 9 is a group of technologies designed to make Windows-based computers an ideal platform for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3D animation, and rich audio. The app includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications using the DirectX APIs.
The latest version of the Microsoft Windows Gaming API delivers Microsoft's powerful new High-Level Shader Language (HLSL) and features its most-advanced suite of design tools for the development of rich multimedia elements such as full-spectrum color graphics, video, 3D animation, and enhanced audio capabilities.
Some applications and games require DirectX 9 for PC. However, your computer includes a more recent version of Direct X. If you install and then run an application or game that requires the app, you might receive an error message such as 'The program can't start because d3dx9_35.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.'
DirectX 9.0 (DX9) for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 introduces significant improvements across its suite of APIs. DirectSound offers new audio capabilities, DirectShow accelerates video rendering hardware, and Direct3D enhances low-level graphics programmability with new programmable vertex and pixel shader 2.0 models. DirectX9 is supported in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP!
