D3drm.dll is missing when playing old games

Original title: D3drm.dll is missing?

Trying to play older games (a 2005 other 2003) out of the CD, but will not work with the message saying d3drm.dll is missing for both. Tried to download the microsoft directX update, but the message remains displayed. Tried downloading the DXSDK_Jun10.exe file (Mats_Run.devices and Mats_Run.dvd) hard time trying to fix it.  Help?

I'm also trying to get TopoUSA4 to run Win7, placing the d3drm.dll in the folder of the executable, the Windows folder or several other likely places did not help.

///////////////UPDATE/////////////////////

Place the missing dll to the root of the OS and with the executable file of the TopoUSA4 actually worked after a reboot. If you get this file (d3drm.dll) from a google source that you don't know, scan it with your antivirus protection or other software (e.g. Malwarebytes). I was lucky.

From this day (November 2012), you can get a version zipped DLL here: http://www.dll-files.com/d3drm.zip?0WHfUEaKiU note that you don't have the repair program that installs, just read the instructions for use the zip file under the heading "How to install d3drm.dll" on this page: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3drm. Once again, as of this writing, Avira and Malwarebytes report that the zip is clean.

  • Re: Cannot use arrow keys when playing flash games

    Someone had this problem? The arrow keys on my keyboard do not work when I play flash games. Have downloaded the latest version of adobe, but not luck. Is it sounds like a hardware problem? What is the best way to thing to work around this problem?

    Thanks for any response.

    Post edited by: terrypal

    For me it has nothing to do with a malfunction of the equipment. If you can use the arrow keys in Windows or any application there absolutely no problem with the keyboard or something similar.

    Maybe is this result of the issue of the restriction of game control.

  • Black screen when playing the games

    I play several different types of games on my computer and just recently, I noticed that when I attempet to Alt + Tab to go to my office or a different window, I get stuck in a black screen with only the mouse showing sometimes. This came only in the last week and went with all the games that I played. I managed to make Ctrl + Alt + Delete but can only solve by making the system to reboot. All playing the games themselves, I don't encounter any problem, but only when I try to go to a different window that already passed.

    Help?

    Boatmoter, welcome to the forum.

    Have you checked to see if the computer is overheating all in game.  Games is intense and can cause a heat.  This can certainly cause the computer to reboot unexpectedly.  There are many FREE programs that you can use to check the time.

    Thanks for the tip I will load CPUZ and check the temperature which would be the specs of temp on this one

  • Playing old games on (or in) Windows 7

    Is anyway to play older games which worked on Windows 95, 98, in or around Wondows 7?

    Thank you!!

    It is also a broad topic to give an appropriate response. You should restrict the question down to specific games that interest you. Each game has its own problems, and where you can find a patch to make the game compatible Windows 7 is very rare (some sites like the good old games, http://www.gog.com, offer copies remastered their favorites that are compatible - but which does not apply to all games you may prefer and is not free).
