Hi all.
I bought RON today but it'll only be a matter of time before I return it. The sucker not only will not run, but the installing of DirectX v9 fuct up all my other old games too.
I had a grand old game called X Wing vs TIE Fighter which ran fine before. Now, the .dll files are all in the wrong places.
I copied and pasted the .dll files from the DirectX subdirectory into my windows system files but the DDRAW.DLL file refused to run my old program.
This is a rip off and it has ruined a lot of my enjoyment. Not only will the game not work but it is preventing me from playing games totally unrelated to it. Microsoft lives up to its usual reputation for advanced craptitude.
I've already uninstalled RON and will be returning it tomorrow. Now can anybody tell me how to get DirectX v9 off my computer and restored to its previous settings? RON may be a great game and all but if it resorts to killing off all my old ones, I'm afraid my loyalties to Brian Reynolds only goes so far.
If I download and install an older version of DirectX v9 will that work?
I wish I were a man sometimes. And furthermore that Microsoft were a man too tied over a barrel with its pants around its ankles. It deserves nothing less.
