Hello!

Hi all! Great site, only wish I would have found it sooner!

I do have a recent problem I need some help with. Here are the details:

I received a new game for Christmas in DVD format. For some reason my computer would not play it. I put a DVD movie in that I had played before and it would not work either. I thought that strange and asked an "expert" what to do. He said it was probably the driver (they don't require drivers) or possibly a bad drive. So, I figured for $50 I would buy a new DVD drive and see if that was it. It was not. I reloaded Windows 2000 and tried the movie again and it worked! Great problem solved.....or so I thought. I put the game back in and installed it. It pulls up the initial screen and when I hit "Play" I get the following error:

Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point GetRawInputDeviceList could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll

To add to the problem I then tried some of my other games and got a similar error, but referencing a different .dll file. So now I can watch DVD's, but can't play any of my games. Arrgh!!

Sorry to be so long winded in my first post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thumbs up Thanks, found it.

Turns out I had to reinstall DirectX for some odd reason, but all is working now.

Thanks again!

Whenever you reinstall your OS always remember to do all of the updates again. This is VERY important these days!
