Hi everyone,

I have the AOE2-CD (not an online download) and when I tried to install it today, it just won't run anymore. I just get the error message "error in dplayerx.dll" and then I return to desktop. I used to be able to play the game on the same machine as now (only now it has higher CD-Drive speed) so what has gone wrong? I googled for an hour on various forums but I never came up with a solution that works for me. I thought it was a direct-x error but my machine has 9.1, you need at least 6.1 for AOE2.

Can anybody help me out? I'm really not a specialist in anything that ends with ".dll".

Thanks a lot!
