There is a WHOLE board dedicated to that game.

EDIT: Last post:

Thanks All, here was the solution...

Uninstalling Net Frameork 2.0, and 1.1, going step by step running registriy fixes and attempting to install at each step did not solve the problem.

Disabling Windows Defender did not fix the problem.

However, Uninstalling Windows Defender does fix the problem.

Wanted to post that for anyone else who comes accross the same error.

Thanks for your help, I got the hint here that led me to the solution.

I had a similar problem with the same file not found but a different program. I opened my documents and then notepad, named the file msvcr80.dll and saved. Copied it to the system32 folder and no more problems.
