olataro

ArmedandDangerous
Free Download

Lol,just download the file,whatever it is..
olataro
Hmmm still how to solve the omnimusha problem and is that file u ask me download safe?
olataro
Great,after i downloaded the file another error saying cannot find MSVCP71.dll..wat on earth are these files for??
RevolutionWorks
Copy that MSVCP71.dll into C:\Windows\System32

and about the "failed to create D3D device error" I think its about DirectX problem or your graphics card driver or your GC don't support the game.

Armedanddangerous,thnx!!I can now play civ $!!!abd start kicking other civ's %#$%54#%$#%#%*^&^$%

Still if it is directX prob,how 2 solve it?And how to make graphic card compatitable?
ArmedandDangerous
Just download the latest DirectX and just install smile.gif

Gee but the newest is directX 9.0c right?i already got it installed,but the error still appears and it seems that its not only me who faces this problem...........
so if anyone who faced this problem and can play plss tell me how to solve!

wink.gif Direct X is the most complicated stuff in Gaming . Be patient , try go to DXDIAG , click start and choose RUN , type in DXDIAG then go to Display tab , see if your graphic card driver name and version is displayed , also see if the three option below the 3D accel stuff are enable . If they are not available , you got problem with your graphic card . tongue.gif

DirectX seems fine i guess.....but i dont think its wrong with my graphic card as I could play many games like DOW,CIV4 and Omnimusha 1 on my comp,but the oly problem that occurs is from Omnimusha 3......

Also others who faces this prob and solved it,plsss tell me how!
