#49 DVD536 is right. The d3d9.dll error message is because you don’t have the Direct X 9.0 listed in the system requirments to run this game. First thing to do is go to manufacturer’s web site for your graphics card and make sure it supports Direct X 9.0, older cards and integrated (on-board) graphics don’t support it. If the manufactuer’s site says your card supports it then go to Microsoft’s Direct X download page and update Direct X to 9.0 and the game should run fine.

Re: # 52 Timm Heery:
You need to run the activate.exe file to register the game. Close the game, go back to the zip file downloaded form this site and double-click it. Tell your unzip program to show you the contents instead of running the file or installing. When you see the file activate.exe, make sure your internet connection is open and double-click that file to register the game. Reopen the game to find the full registered version.

I think it’s a great game and as always I’m grateful for the freebies you make available to us. This time though, when I try to record my score, the game somehow takes over my keyboard putting letters entirely where they don’t belong – it was the weirdest feeling!

At first I thought it was the creator’s joke on us for getting it for free, but then I closed the game down twice and the same thing happened each time – and as you can see, I’m certainly not having any problems with my keyboard here.

Would you please see what the problem might be? *sighs* There goes my GOTD fix!
