Errors when attempting to start Illarion.exe

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

sounds like a problem with direct x, try to reinstall that.

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
