Now here''s a weird one...

Ok, so I've had FL since day one, installed it the first time no problem, everything worked. Then I got into modding and eventually things started breaking down.

I figured I'd re-install to get a fresh start. Hehe... that's where I went wrong. Now, when it installs, it tells me that DirectX setup failed, and then when it's creating the directories it says it has errors loading W95INF32.DLL! That dll is a Win 95 plus dll! I'm running Windows 2000! WTF!

So I let it install anyway, and it runs fine now except for the text, which is HUGE. I've followed the instructions in the text thread, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Some software con reconise windows 2000 as a version of wondows NT, but I dont know about the win95 DLL, I guess its Windows 95 and above, what if you install directx 9.0b from the microsoft website, then test your setup again. It could be that there are Direct 3d or Direct Draw errors within your version of Direct x and your current bios. Update them both and try again.

Nope, all drivers and crap like that is all up to date. And it doesn't matter anymore anyway, it fixed itself overnight somehow! I started it up this morning and voila, it was fixed. Thanks for the help anyway tho
