So I just downloaded UFO, and I was about to play it, but whenever I try to run the game it says:

This application has failed to start because d3dx9_40.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Can someone help? x.x;;

Simple.
Your computer is missing the d3dx9_40.dll file.
You can download it here.
If you're unsure where to put the file, read here for more information.

The .dll files go in C:/Windows/System32.

I get that pop up message too about the .dll files it requires. But when I sucsessfully get a .dll file for 11, 12, 12.3, and the 13 demo, I try to run the game and it keeps going back to my screen I was last on and the microsoft explored error pop up window shows up. (you know with the Send report, dont send, and debug) I tried that and nothing works. Tell me how many people here has that same problem as I have?

Reinstalling DirectX should fix those errors. It seems you're missing some Direct3D dlls that the Touhou games need to run. Just google DirectX and you should have a

Im downloading a DirectX 10 for XP for my laptop.....I hope that should work. As for Stigmanizer's advise..... I moved my downloaded .dll files to my windows system 32 folder. I hope that will get it running.
