vSide won't start! (Windows 7)

When I try to start vSide, I just get this error

"Sorry, a compatible display device could not be found!
This probably means your should install the latest drivers from your
computer or graphics adapter manufacturer."

"Click "OK" to visit our website for more information , or "Cancel" to quit."

Just by looking around, it seems I have to update my drivers for my video card, but I don't know where to get the update.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and my video card is a

NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

Any help with this would be great!

Thanks, but after installing the driver (which looked like it installed perfectly), I now just get another error, after trying to open vSide.

"The program can't start because d3dx9_42.dll is missing from your computer. Try Reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I'll try reinstalling the driver tomorrow, but I don't know if that'll fix it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

That is because you need to update DirectX to run 3D:
