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.

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 .

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......
Does anyone have a solution here?Guys From the PC Gamer MAgazine,I hope u guys can help me as it is ur demo that i cant seem to play!!!!(Eventhough i dont think u guys going to read this post)
Also others who faces this prob and solved it,plsss tell me how!
