Yeah, same thing is happening to me. I have a guess, but I haven't tried it yet. Did you try to run the game from the c drive, or are you running it from another location? I have the windows stuff in c, and the game is in another drive g. I'm thinking that maybe it can't see the required DLL file from that other drive. Thus, trying running the game from the same drive that windows is installed in. Just a wild ass guess, but let me know if that works. Sam Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
Download the latest version of DirectX (V. 7.0a), should fix your problem. I had the same dillema but was able to fix it by getting DirectX7. Good Luck - colin

Are you running Directx7? I had the same problem I had Directx6.1 then I installed Directx7 and it worked.
