Post by Souls » Sun Mar 16, 2008 5:05 pm

To my knowledge, it should be in the system32 folder, even on 64-bit XP. Please be aware that lots of people use Inner Space on 64-bit flavors of both XP and Vista, and there is no known issue with Inner Space on these systems. All you need to do is install the latest DirectX 9 update -- the latest one is March 2008, found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

It will install everything where it's supposed to be -- Inner Space is not specifying a path when it loads d3dx9_30.dll, the DirectX updater should be putting it exactly where it needs to go to be loaded by any 32-bit application.

Still unable to get to game selection, Innerspace acts like it is loading but nothing happens , no taskbar icon or anything.

I don't know the answer here. All I can tell you is that on a clean Windows installation with current drivers, current updates and service packs, it will work just fine. Something installed or not installed on your system is preventing Inner Space from functioning.

1. Make sure you have all critical Windows updates, including the latest service pack, and current video drivers
2. Try shutting down all running programs, just to see if one of them is interfering with Inner Space
3. Before there is a taskbar icon, Inner Space attempts to connect to our license server. If it fails to do so, it could potentially sit for a couple minutes trying to connect under certain circumstances. For example if a software firewall is blocking Inner Space from connecting by making it time out rather than a denial -- though typically this is not the case. If this were the problem, within about 10 minutes of not seeing anything, you would get a message box with an error message.
4. Scan for viruses and spyware
