Game errors...

    I got a loan of GTA3 off a friend and I get the following errors when I try to launch it:

    "The D3D8.DLL file is linked to missing export DDRAW.DLL:DdEntry12"


    The other one points to the GTA folder and says:

    "A device attached to the system is not functioning"


    I thought it was just gta that was acting all screwy but I tried to run the Atari Jaguar emulator and I got the same 2 errors.


    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks


    :(

    looks like a directx problem. have you upgraded to dx9? that might be the problem(i never upgrade to a newer directx unless a game needs it). the only thing you can really do is reinstall it.

    Try downloading them dll`s from the net and replacing them with the current ones , make a back up of the old ones first .
