CW will not load please help (KB Platinum edition)

[briggs]

I keep getting an error message every time I try to load CW. It reads, "KB.exe unable to locate component" "aplication failed to start because d3dx9_41.dll was not found". Its the version of crossworlds that come with kings bounty platinum if that makes any difference. The original kings bounty runs fine but I cannot load CW and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times already. Thanks for any help
