Instration problem

Post by Minerva »

I've just got the game, and installed it. Then, when I try to run the game, I received message:
A required .DLL file, D3D8.DLL was not found.


I have unintalled and reinstalled it, but still have the same problem. Any idea?

Thanks in advance. :)

It sounds like you have a problem with your version of DirectX - try re-installing that.

@Sojouner: Done! I have re-installed Dirext X 8.0a from ToB CD. I can now open the game!

Thank you very much. :)
