i there
when loading the program i get this message:
"The procedure entry point DdEntry10 could not be located in the dynamic link library DDRAW.dll"
Can anyone tell me why this appears? i have all drivers updated and also directX.
thanks

Hey i got that same message too, I don't know what to do. If any one can help please share.

you need directx9b you can get it right here. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=141D5F9E-07C1-462A-BAEF-5EAB5C851CF5&displaylang=en . once you install that be sure you restart. Thats it bud.

i got the message did the dowmload and still getting the message =( for everquest

I get the same damn message with the same game, i just installed all the drivers for dx9b. so whats goin on, anyone got ne ideas?

i tried playing everquest after downloading a patch and the exact same error came up "the procedure entry point Ddentry10 could not be located in the dynamic link library DDRAW.dll". i have directX9b installed and i have tried everything i can think of and the error still comes up , please someone help!

Same problem, but with everquest...the error message pops up regardless of whether or not directx 9b is installed. I even rolled directx back to 8.1, then reinstalled 9b, rebooted, no dice. ANy help, and you will be worshipped as a god.

Refering to person(s) with the everquest problem... Go to your EQ folder delete all .dll files. Run the patch program which will then download the missing .dll files and presto you are up and running. Had same problem came up with this fix. If I had time I'd narrow it down to the exact .dll file, but this blanket approach works fine..Hope this helps

I did what you told me and still no solution...what next?

Grizzled, you are a GOD!!!!!!!!!

I've been trying to get help on this issue from SOE and Microsoft for 2 weeks and they were no help whatsoever. Your solution worked perfectly and I can finally get back in. Thanks again!!!

Grizzled - you're the person... Thanks for your know how!
Used your suggestion for star war galaxies - deleted .dll and went did a repair intall - and my son is playing as I write.

Thanks!

grizzled anwser work for me

Anyone know about the d3d9.dll? I had the problem that is posted here... moved all my .dll files to a different folder and had EQ download new ones. When I did this... it missed the d3d9.dll and now it displays a different message: 'This application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. Reinstalling the aplication may fix this problem.' Seeing as I dont have my CDs anymore, reinstalling wouldn't be feasable.

Any information would be great.

Thank you,
Abe

Envy those who have already fixed it

I have installed directx 9 but do not know where and which dll files to remove before reinstalling directx.

Please answer
