Don't worry, I often suffer from what we call here "a Senior's moment"
There are penty of hits on Google for it, but in general, I remember back in
the dim days a VBRun (e.g. VBRUN100.DLL) was needed before you could run the
old WEP games package, so possibly it may be needed for a recent game you
installed?
I know for a fact that if you install WEP on XP it won't work, as it doesn't
exist in the XP package so you have to hunt elsewhere for VBRUN100.DLL, then
it works fine.
