Had to restore my windows millenium and now ah wont start and I get the DDRAW.DLL run error and it says to check the file. System is a compaq amd 900 200 fsb with Geforce 3 Ti 200, 128 meg, 30 gig hd,cdrw,cd/dvd and audio excel sound card. AH ran fine before my lockup and subsequent restore using my recovery disk. Any suggestions ?? Thanks FF1:)

Sounds like the bindings between the video card driver and DX are gone. Try reinstalling your video drivers.

here is the dxdiag.txt. I have tried reloading the game and video drivers and dx8.1 but still get the DDRAW.DLL error. At start up Im getting a RRUN32.dll creates error in Kernal32. dll also.
Thanks for the input thus far. FF1
