Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix
EJ: if you're talking about the redistributable link that I posted, just download the file to your desktop (about 104MB) and when it's finished downloading, just double-click it and it will install the latest DirectX files + all older releases needed to play older games. The error message you are getting makes me think that either:
1. You don't have the required DX files on your system
2. You need to update your Radeon drivers (I would try the reference drivers from AMD rather than the OEM ones from Toshiba)
or
3. Your graphics adapter does not support older versions of DX (not very likely)
I would guess that it is either #1 or #2 but without actually seeing your laptop or one like it I'm just guessing. We have some Toshiba Satellite laptops at work so I'll have a look at one on Monday if you don't get it resolved by then...
