Emperor startup crashes

[Demon-X]

Ive just installed Emperor with no problems what so ever, then when i tried to run the game it came up with the emperor splash screen and then after a little while it came up with 'GAME' has performed an illegal operation message. ive tried reinstalling and patching emperor and it still comes up with the same message.

my system specs are:

OS: Windows 98 SE

AMD K62 3D processor, MMX, 3D NOW, 500Mhz

Nvidia Vanta LT 16MEG video card

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audio PCI 128

256megs RAM

My computer passed all the tests in Dxdiag and nothing seems obviously wrong with the cd's

can someone shed some light on this?

Demon,

Those errors could indicate a problem between drivers.

Make sure you've updated your drivers. When done, head over to the page in my signature and look at the general section.

If you keep having this problem, please write donw the exact error message. Also, put your dxdiag output here.

Keep me updated !

I installed DirectX 8.1 and it works now, before i was using the DX of the CD
