d3dx9_36.dll missing. Help? :'(

I'm very new to this ( and I'm a girl...wahhh!!! )

and each time I start the avedesk.exe file, it crashes saying that file d3dx9_36.dll is missing.

What can I do to correct this?

I'm running Vista ( came with the laptop, pre-installed )

Help!!!!

Just because you're a woman doesn't mean you can't make me a sandwich download a simple file. Google "download d3dx9_36.dll".

This question has been asked several times before. Please search next time.

Guys. Surely the fact that file is missing means there's a problem somewhere, and simply downloading that file is just delaying the inevitable?

Have you tried reinstalling dx?

Actually that's all that's needed to fix it. Works like everytime.
