I manually deleted the directx entry from regedit and now i have a similar problem as this:

http://www.compatdb.org/support/topics/176169_cant_load_civilization_4_trouble_with_directx.html

The problem is that the file (DX9C.reg) he was asked to import into his registry does'nt exist there anymore. I cant installl a fresh version of directx unless i import the file into the registry i guess so could you kindly provide a working link to that file so that i can download it.

Many thanks!

The link should work again.
I recently cleaned that site and seems that the file was deleted too.

It worked. Thanks a lot!

so where is that download link?
