If you aren't sure if you have dx9.0c april 2006 try downloading this: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Dir...edistributable.shtml (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/DirectX-9.0c-Redistributable.shtml)
Click on download and choose a location.
Try it and tell if it works.

Ty Unreal_az im downloading atm, btw 2 of my friends are facing the same problem and they all use 5700FX, im starting to worry about whether i have to upgrade my video card inord to play HOMMV......

[unreal_az]

Um.. thing is that seems on a radeon 9800 the problem is the same so i don't think it's video card related in terms of hardware.
