Scientist Posted March 1, 2004 Well I don't know much about computers so this question may seem a bit dumb and all, but I'll ask anyhow. I've been trying to run some games on my parents computer but it keeps saying stuff like: unable to find dinput8.dll or d3d8.dll Well I don't know what these are or how I should get them. I got the games legally and installed them perfect. can anyone help me? 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted March 1, 2004 Cyb is right, those dll's are part of DirectX. Just install the latest version of that and you'll be on your way. 0 Share this post Link to post
