Netkar(which I've ignored up to now...)

Which means I don't know how to fix this error: "A required .DLL file, D#D9.DLL, was not found." It isn't even on my hard drive. Is this a DX9 file, so I need DX9 to run this? I only have Dx8.1...

Make that "definitely yes". It's been often repeated that Netkar was developed using the DirectX 9 Toolkit (IIRC), so it w0n't run with previous versions. I was rweluctant to update to DX9 myself, but then a couple of weeks ago, after everyone who had already installed it seemed to report no problems at all with it, I finally downloaded and installed it, in order to finally get a good look at Netkar - and I don't regret it. -- __________ ____---____ Marco Antonio Checa Funcke \_________D /-/---_----' Santiago de Surco, Lima, Peru _H__/_/ http://machf.tripod.com '-_____|( remove the "no_me_j." and "sons.of." parts before replying

I haven't seen any reported problems with DX9a. There are a couple of issues with DX9b though, so I am keeping away from that update, at least until the full scope of the problems are revealed.

I heard too many people complaining that loading DX9 screwed up their systems... Given my track record with upgrades, I'm not keen on pushing my luck...

It actually improved one aspect of my system. In the Window Gaming Options area, when checking calibration of the wheel and pedals, whenever I would turn the steering wheel to the left the crosshair would drop to the bottom of the calibration window as if I were applying the brake at the same time, which I wasn't. Never could correct this and just accepted it as a quirk as it was never a problem when in a game. DX9 has finally cured/corrected this, also there is now generally much less jigglying of the crosshair in general when checking calibration.

Driving with aero takes some getting used to, eh? And they say those cars are supposed to be EASIER to drive. I do better in GPL. lol I still like it too, though.

Don, you're fast enough - you don't need any help...<g> Hmm - mine does that too. Not as bad as yours, but noticible. Maybe that's causing me some problems in games, and I just don't realize it? If I feel lucky, maybe I'll try to upgrade this week.

On a 120GB drive? Eldred -- Help find missing child: Tatianna Ashley Chillcutt from Michigan(info on my homepage) Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

> On a 120GB drive? Sure...... Create 2 partitions, a 10GB one where you install Windows + all your Windows application software. The second partition has all the other stuff like games, music, videos, patches, documents etc. Do a ghost backup of the 10GB 'system' partition onto an image file on the second partition before installing any major windows software. Simple and very powerful.
