I can now run the disco part of Novoking fine, but when I try to run the regular virtual world part of Novoking, the application hangs, around 10 per cent on the progress bar, and after a lengthy pause, I may get the error message shown in the picture below.
Novoking has worked properly up till the last week or so. I’ve not changed the computer hardware.
“d3dref9.dll” is a directx dll that is supposed to provide a software emulation of a 3D graphics processor for use in debugging.
I can’t read the error message, aside from the d3dref9.dll, and I can’t copy and paste the text to translate it.
I’ve spent hours now reading about d3dref9, and I can’t figure out why I should get this message or what to do about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It says that “the required d3dref9.dll file is missing, please reinstall the latest version of Direct X”.
