Tech Savvy Help Required

[Jdklein]

My error message was originally a Registry Error. More specifically it said "Missing Mss32.dll. Please install and try again". I downloaded a DLL Registry cleanup software and scanned my computer. It fixed something like 800 problems and i downloaded the Mss32.dll again through the same software program. Its called DLL-files fixer.

Now however after doing this i get this error: "The Mss DLL file is installed in Windows or Windows System Directory. It must be installed in application directory". THEN another application arror appears that says: "The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000142)". Help

You can run those third party programs until you're blue in the face and still end up doing a clean install of the game the game can find it. That's how old the game really is.
Vista, Win 7/8, disable the UAC first and install in C:\Games.

im not sure i understand. When i put the game into the DVD ROM it won't even let me begin the download at all. It pops up instantly. Like i said im not too tech savvy so i dont have the slightest clue of how i would follow your advice

You have to uninstall it using the uninstaller, delete all traces of it, use a good free registry cleaner lie Ccleaner or Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, reboot, then do an install logged in as Administrator and UAC disabled.

None of this worked. I got the same error. But thanks for trying

Moved from GD to Tech.

Post your dxdiag.

Post the whole thing. We know how big they get.
Either attach it or I'll put it in spoilers after you post.

Here you go

I don't know if it could be prt of the problem but there is a newer BIOS than yours. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/...iverid=R301434

Since you got the mss32.dll from a different site, its version may not be compatible with the game. Delete it and uninstall the game and try, again.
