dsound.dll

Hello (again). When i try to launch a game, (battlefield 1942) , it sais :

The ordinal 11 could not be located in the dynamic library DSOUND.dll.

What does that suppose to mean?

If anyone knows about this reply, dont just read .

Is this happening for the first time?

Have you install something recently, SP2 maybe?

Maybe that file is corrupted... Just install the latest version of DirectX run-times. The re-distributable package is about 34 MB, I think.

But i installed Windows 2000 on 24th September. And i intsalled Direct X 9.0b.

How could this happen to a new hard drive and new system (windows)

Try to install DirectX 9.0c.

this exact SAME issue happened to me.

What i traced it back to was that i installed my video drivers BEFORE installing directX9 and that was the problem. i didn't really research too deeply into exactly why after I found out.

but what cured it was reinstalling windows, then installing DirectX9c *right away before anything else*, then rebooting and installing my video drivers.
