Rome: Total War failed to find DirectX 9....I have Direct X 11...

[DeclinedA]

Whenever I try to start RTW I get a flashing black screen for a few seconds. An error message then appears saying "Rome Total War failed to find DirectX 9, which is required for the game to run. Please reinstall DirectX."

I updated my video card's drivers, and I cleared out my PC's registry. I downloaded RTW from Steam. I have DirectX 11, which should be compatible with 9. I am playing this on Windows 8.

How can I solve this?
