So I bought this new computer a little over a week ago and still can't get EQ to run. I even got the platinum edition disks from my friend and installed the game that way. I do the full scan and then when I click play I get this message:This application has failed to start because d3dx9_30.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. Well re-installing didn't fix anything so any suggestions on what to do next?Seriously if EQ came preloaded (instead of the useless crap) I woulda been 2 boxing a week ago

did a search on the staion.sony.com tech support. since i do not know the specs of your new puter, here is the page to go to. from what i read there it is a directx issue. though it seems a simple thing and even is, just confusing. forums.station.sony.com/eq/search/search.m?clean=1&forum=1&query=d3dx9_30.dll+as simply put, directx and microsoft have done a lot of updates over the years and even though we download the updates, the .dll files are not updated when patched. also it appears that EQ does not support the directx10 yet. you can have many versions of directx on your system as they are separate programs. so take a minute to read some of the tech forum posts, as most of them refer to doing pretty much the same thing. g'luck

EQ is up and running. New problem is lag. So new pc is kinda useless until I go out and buy a video card and more RAM. It will run but the lag is killing me. So I'll use my friend's pc til I find enough money in the couch cushions to pay for it...
