Had the same error message each time I launched QuickTime player. Found a solution
in a message board that said to install the redistributable version of DirectX 9.0c.
Found some relevant info from microsoft msdn.com at this address: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219742.aspx
"DirectX Libraries:
In the past, the optional components of the DirectX SDK, including D3DX, were released
as static libraries. However, these are now released as dynamic-like libraries (DLLs)
because of the increased demand for better security practices. DLLs allow servicing
of previously released code. If these components were deployed as static libraries,
there would be no way for Microsoft to address security issues found after release.
As features are added or changed to the optional components, the names of the corresponding
DLLs are also changed to ensure that no regressions are caused to existing games
that are using released components. The DLLs for each component live side by side,
and game developers can choose exactly which DLL version that the game uses by linking
to the corresponding import library."
A DirectX redistributable that contains all the optional components is available
as both a web-based installer and as a downloadable package which can be found here:

Hope this helps, it worked for me.
