No D3DX9 dll found. To enable stats, shaders and complex resizers, please make sure to install the latest DirectX End-User Runtime
You may find other on the web / youtube tell you to download a copy of DirectX 9. But actually, you don't have to.
Step 1. open "C:\Program Files\MPC HomeCinema" with your explorer.
Step 2. Make a copy "ANY" of dll (e.g. mpcresources.fr.dll)
Step 3. Rename the duplication dll to "d3dx9_41.dll"
And you should not get the error message anymore.
Why it is simple than other?
The MPC-HC try to load the DLL into memory. It locate the file "d3dx8_41.dll" from path. However, on Windows 7 there is no DirectX 9 but DirectX 10 and it should load "d3dx10_40.dll" on directx.
It find the DLL cannot be loaded, then popup a message to notify you, and play the video.
The fact is that, MPC-HC is not required to load it again as it should be loaded already by system. By putting a dummy DLL to the path to bypass the checking is enough as no API will be used.
In short, MPC-HC use the wrong way to check and to ensure the minimum version of DirectX installed. It should load "d3d9.dll" and check the build number in the assembly or in the registry.

UPDATE: June 2010
I am not sure if MPC or Win7 have fix the issue.
There should no the popup any more by update both of them to the latest.
If you have did my fix on the above, you can just delete the file and everythings work fine.

stupid solution. if you do it this way you are only fooling yourself, for example Renderer settings > Display stats doesn't work
I did not notice that before your comment. But I guess that is not important to many users.
Thanks, this is the best and simplest fix I have seen.

BTW I tried to enable Renderer settings > Display Stats both with and without the fake dll with the same results the option doesn't do anything for me :S
