OK, I've finally gotten the Forge Tools downloaded, and over the last few days it has been complaining about missing .dll files. I've reinstalled directX and located said files that were to have been missing and they are present. The program appears to not be finding the files though. I've moved those files to the SYS32 folder and it complained about them being in the wrong area, so I put them where the game said they should be (in the game folder) and the original error came back.
My question to everyone is... Is there a codec that fixes this problem? or... do you have any suggestions?
If this helps, I am running...
