Help me, i want to play Halo

dose this happen when you install the Directx 9.0b end of users edition?

The hole thing is about 10-20 mb... :confused:

I tried to install it from 2 different sources.

1. From Halo CD
2. Download it directly from microsoft website. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en


No luck

Desperate situations call 4 desperate measures.

This error probably occurs because the 'd3drm.dll' file already exists and is still loaded in Windows, which considers it therefore in use and prevents any deletion/modification.

So this I suggest - reboot into DOS mode and rename it to 'd3drm.dll.bak' (or anything else, just don't delete it: if Windows fails to startup, U can always revert to the old .dll file). Then reboot into Microsh*t Windows and attempt the 9.0b installation again.

This might solve yer prob.

Good luck Capt. Kark :D

I actually deleted it (I was frustated), and no luck.

Here's the funny thing. After i delete it, I try to install 9.0b, the installation failed and surprise, the file is there again.

Give me you email adress and I mail the file for you!
OBS! It's for the Windows XP version!

Why do i need your file? The file is here

oh dear... you sad you deleted the file...didn't you... if you got the file installed to your system un moded, it will pass the file and install direct x 9.0b :rolleyes:
