I've been having a few problems with my computer lately. First off, I dont have sound. I'm pretty sure I've downloaded the right driver for my soundcard, but I still get nothing..
When I try to run my new game, it says this. 'The D3D9.DLL file is linked to missing export DDRAW.DLL:DdEntry18' and 'A device attached to the system is not functioning.'
Well I looked on some websites, and found out that I needed to install DirectX9. I got that, but wasnt able to run the Installsheild thing. I then found out that my StDole32.tlb..ect.. were missing. so i got this program called Dcom98 from the windows website. The StDole things are back.. i got directX9 installed, but my game still wont work! it gives the same messages. Also, When i right click on my desktop to get into Properties, well, it doesnt work. The box comes up, but when i click properties it doesnt do anything. Same thing when i try to get properties for My Computer. What the heck is wronnnnggg???
