Need for Speed Most Wanted won't work
 

Well, I got the v1.3 patch installed. I then tried getting the NO CD/Fixed .exe and it wouldn't run saying I was missing the D3Dx9_26.DLL.

Anyone have any ideas? I am just trying to get this game to work. Thanks!!

Either you have a direct x problem, in which case id try reinstalling dx9 from your dvd or cd's of the game or you have installed the wrong fix for the media type your game is on ie if its the CD version of the game then you need the no-cd v1.3 or if its DVD version of the game try the v1.3 no-DVD fix !

Hope this helps.

Well, I downloaded this DLL but I do not know where to place it. Where does it go??

Try putting it in the same directory as the game exe ;)

This (and other DLL files) are part of the last DirectX update (released two months ago)...

By the way, no duplicate threads, please!
