Microsoft often releases updates to DirectX without updating the version number or letter, so be sure to install the latest release even if your version is technically the same. Assuming the latest DirectX version from Microsoft doesn't help, look for a DirectX installation program on your game or application DVD or CD. Usually, if a game or another program utilizes DirectX, the software developers will include a copy of it on the installation disc.

Sometimes, though not often, the version included on the disc is a better fit for the program than the latest version available online. It's possible that you need to first back up the file, delete the original DLL file, and then install DirectX.

Try this if both this step and Step 2 haven't fixed the issue. Deleting xapofx1_5.dll has been known to fix Bad Image (XAPOFX1_5.dll) errors specifically, but you can try it for any related error message if you're not seeing that one. Uninstall the game or software program and then reinstall it again.
