    I accidentally crashed my computer and had to reinstall windows (inadvertently on the drive my games were on). I had everything on a second computer thank goodness so i copied it over but now i can't get it to work.

    First it tells me that the d3dx9_30 isn't there but when i copy it over it asks if i want to keep the original or the new one (weird) I keep the new one and try again. All i get is a message to say "eqgame.exe - Application error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application."

    Would anyone have any idea why the game would work on one computer but not another? I have even downloaded a completly fresh version of RoF2 client and am having the same issue.

    I also lost everything i had saved to my desktop which included an excel spreadsheet with a lot of login information recorded :( :( :(

    Was one machine an AMD and the other INTEL? Perhaps you had a modified DX9 driver.

    the main one (which i broke accidentally) is intel and played 36 chars previoulsy now i can't even get past eqgame.exe. The second one is AMD but even the copy i have on there was from my original main comp.

    I also have eq live downloaded and that plays fine

    You need to install DX9.0c

    Thanks wings :) that fixed it. I was thinking the d3d9 was the file but DX9 was the problem.
