    Default game wont run

    ive just found this game again and really want to play it while i have couple of days off work, but it will not run saying some problem about "d3dx9_30.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error."

    i have reinstalled the game twice, downloaded and updated directx 9.0c and now have no clue what to do.

    please help

    Assuming vista or win 7, disable the UAC and be sure you're logged in as Administrator.

    User Account Controls, yes.

    Something tells me Windows did not install the dx9 because "There is already a newer version" garbage and tied to the UAc garbage.

    Try installing dx9 with the UAC diabled.

    Do a search for it and post which folders it shows up in.

    Just a quick question - what anti-virus program are you running on at the moment? It might be relevant. Or it might be a long shot. In any case - Good luck!
