Ok, so I’ve recently got hold of a copy of Tales Of Monkey Island for the PC and I’ve had a lot of trouble getting it running… It wants to run a file from Direct X 9 on Windows XP. Alas I am  running Windows 7 64 bit on my dual core laptop with 4 gig of RAMso this logically caused a bit of strife.

After perusing the internet for some times I discovered there was likely a simple solution to the problem. Plant the file from the Windows XP installer of Direct X into the install directory of the game and it shpould work just fine.

Ok, so first, get hold of a copy of the full Direct X 9 installer for Windows XP. Here is a good place to start. You wil also need a copy of Universal Extractor.

Next, extract all the files from the Direct X archive installer. You will get a long list of .cab files in a suitable sub-directory. We’re looking for the file… Mar2009_d3dx9_41_x86.cab

Copy the d3dx9_41.dll (yes, the file in the error message). To each of the indevidual episode directories. No, just putting it in the route directory of the whole collection won’t work.

Once this is done it should be possible to run each of the episodes. Well, it worked for me, but I doubt the error will be much different in other peoples cases.

Now go and enjoy a good bit of swashbuckling adventure on the high seas!!
