| Jim S,
|
| Your suggestion worked. Thanks.
|
| Details:
| The system originally came with XP.
| The search for Dsetup.dll only found one in
| c:\Windows (version 4.3.0.1.096)
|
| I installed the "Complete DirectX 9.0b" but it
| didn't help. No change/addition to versions of
| Dsetup.dll.
|
| I copied the new Dsetup.dll that came with the
| "Complete DirectX 9.0b" download to
| c:\windows\system32 as you suggested.
|
| This fixed the problem.
|
| Thanks again,
| Gary
