Hello :)

First of all, did you reinstall the game after formatting?
The file should be at the main game directory, make sure it is there.
Lots of people with nocd .exes seem to have that problem. You have the original uncracked game, right?

Yes, i have tried several times but same results. It is in the main directory too.
Also have the original uncracked copy.
People suggested to check for errors and defrag the hard drive. I did that ,but i still get that error.

you have done windows updates?especially the newest direct-x,and windows installer?

All the forums I've looked at that try to offer solutions for the "could not open game.dll" error are talking about no-cd cracks and patches.

Are you playing the game off a virtual drive or without the CD inserted?

It seems that the operating system is not an original copy, where i cant download updates.
I have to see the computer shop again.

Thanks for the help :D
