Have you tried installing to a different directory or installing without the high resolution options selected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried installing to a different directory or installing without the high resolution options selected? Yes i did installed without the hires and 1080p options. And even tried to install on my laptop also running windows 8.1 dutch version and i got the same issue.Are there options for me to try out? I did try to reinstall framework 3.5 and 4.5 and it makes no difference. I hope that you can resolve my issue. And thanks for keeping this game alive!

Nyerguds Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 "ordinal 3"? What was the original Dutch error? (Flemish programmer, here) The error is rather strange overall; normally Windows refers to DLL files as "libraries", and Dune2000.dat is an executable, and not a library, as far as I know.

And your findings about the DLL file baffles me also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I gonna report the outcome here.Thank you for the answers and help :)I did manage to get it working :)The problem was to enable direct play ... Here you can find it : Control panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn windows features on or off and turn on Direct Play under Legacy Features. Thank you for the support and help ;) i am a happy dune player once more !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
