The DLLs required for these games, as I discovered, are either dx7vb.dll and/or dx8vb.dll. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Yahoo!

Hi all, I have no idea why, but the winkit.zip file that Chris told me to install seems to have fixed things! I still do not know what dlls or libraries were missing, but I will keep this file for whenever I have to reinstall my OS. Thanks!
