No Pool Table

[Lester]

Wanted to play pool on net but when I open the program a sign opens that says; The dll could not be found in the specified path. Any idea why or what to do? Stuck

1. What program?
2. Does the dll have a name?
3. Is this a program on your computer or one you're trying to play on the Internet?
4. Where did you get this game?
5. Do you own a copy?
6. Add any additional information not specifically asked here that may help us to help you.

Play 89 I assume is the name of the program. Got it from Play 89.com and downloaded it. Said; "It was successful". Do not have a copy. When I try to open it the sign reads; The dynamic link library d3d8.dll could not be found in the specified path C\:Program Files\Play 89\bin;.;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem
Would like to know why this happens and if anything can be done to fix it.

... d3d8.dll ...

A quick google search on d3d8.dll yields the following web page as its first hit:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3d8

It would appear you do not have the very latest Microsoft direct 3D display program on your computer.

Looks like you're correct. I downloaded the 1st one and it froze my mouse and comp. Tried it 3 times to make sure it wasn't me so I uninstalled it for good. Tried the 2nd one and after the scan they had a charge of $30. so wasn't worth it to me. We learned what the problem was and thats the main thing so I'll just go to Sharky's to play some pool. I'm happy comp works as well as it does. TY
