I got a gaming PC recently and I've been excited to play my favorite series over again. I keep having problems getting DA:O to run or even install. I've tried nearly everything (or at least I think so):
-Installed/uninstall twice
-Installing direct x individually
-going into the direct x folder in the game's files and deleting all the .rar's
my dxdiag shows no errors, which I've attached.
The error code I was getting was "invalid license missing dll [d3dx9_36.dll]" when I'd go to run the game and i haven't seen any threads about that error specifically, thus why I'm posting.
in my most recent reinstall it won't even let me finish installing the game because of an "internal error" that isn't explained.
I'm so sad and frustrated!! please help if you can.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Try installing the oldest DirectX (9.0c).
Also, those two threads are very helpful:

Between those drivers and the threads, you should be able to solve the issue.
I do not work for EA and i am not associated with the company in any way. I am a player just like you, trying to help wherever i can.I will not answer to any unsolicited PM.

Hey @hippiexprincess you should be able to fix this issue by installing the latest version of DirectX: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/179113/how-to-install-the-latest-version-of-directx
Let me know how you get on.

The error points to issues with your DirectX install and as such you need to reinstall it @hippiexprincess.
