Hi.

Any idea why? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Empire Earth, put the
latest patch on and no difference.

It may be a corrupt .dll so how can I refresh it? I thought there was
a 'repair' option for windows somewhere. *I* can't find it!

The only other games I have installed all run OK; Halflife and a
couple of mods, Medal of Honour and Baldurs gate.

Thanks.

As an afterthought I have posted in xp.general about my antivirus
scanner not accessing certain areas of my drive. I wonder if this
file could be infected and have moved the functions out of place?

I have a Creative 3dBlaster, GeForce 3 Ti200. I'm using Creative's
drivers from their website, version 28.32.

Does this ring any bells at all?

Are you running as an Admin? The game won't run properly (you'll either get
can't access CD or the thunk error) in standard user mode.

cheers,

I'm the only user, so I suppose I must be an admin. Aren't I? Lol...
