Errors when attempting to start Illarion.exe

Post by ezo »

After having some problems with Windows 98 and eventually reinstalling windows "over the top" of my old Windows 98 which seemed to cure the problems I was having i am now having problems starting Illarion.

When i double click on Illarion.exe I get the following Error message:
--------------------------------------------------
Error Starting Program

The ILLARION.EXE file is linked to missing export DDRAW.DLL:DirectDrawCreateEX.

-------------------------------------------------

and also the error message:

-------------------------------------------------

C:\unzipped\illarionv25win9X\illarion.exe

A device attatched to the system is not functioning.

--------------------------------

I have reinstalled the client from the zip file but it still doesn't work, any help would be very...helpful

I had this trouble when i used an old system at an internet cafe, like cassandra said my friend, it is just Direct X, instill a new client and you should be fine
