hi their i was wondering if anyone could help me , i installed a game , and it comes up with an error ,, missing dll ,, PDDIDX8R.DLL .. if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it ,, thankyou
did you download the game from the net from like Kazza or Grokster, I always have that problem when I get games off them...???
Have you tried alcohol 120% to burn it? I'm not sure if it will work for games but it's worth trying. :-\

hi their thanks but nothing has worked . i have tried looking for this dll everywhere , so hopefully someone may come across it . i,m not sure if just adding the dll will make the game work ,or wether i need the totally re-install the game , but thankyou anyway for the help /./
Obviously you haven't looked everywhere... I typed the file name into google and 15 seconds later I found the missing DLL file you needed.
Here's the download. (http://www.dynamiclink.nl/cgi/download.cgi?pddidx8r.dll)
Also a suggestion... As this DLL file is used for the follwing;
"Pure3D Device Driver Interface (D3D - DX8)"
You may want to look into upgrading to Directx9, as it is a MUCH better version of DX than DX8...
You can download DX from Microsoft here. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=141D5F9E-07C1-462A-BAEF-5EAB5C851CF5&displaylang=en)
Let us know if that helps.
