ddraw.dll not found

Hi everyone. I puchased a new game from phantomEFX and installed it. the problem is that when i try to play it, it comes up with a window that says
"A required .DLLfile, DDRAW.DLL, was not found."
I downloaded Directx9.0 and it still comes up with the same message. Any help would really be appreciated. I'm running Windows 98SE.

thanks,
theo

hey! i think i actaully know this one.... correct me if im wrong guys ^_^ anyway, the problem isnt the game, its your computer. look up the missing file on google (this is what i do at least) and add like "+free+download" so it loox like "ddraw.dll+free+download" and pick a site that you can downlad the file from, then save it in your windows folder in your C drive(anywhere will do). If you get messages saying that other files are missing, repeat this with all of the different file names. hope that helps
