Hi s18000rpm,
I dont think, just by placing a missing dll file in a game folder would make it work. You have said that the game was installed perfectly. But, most of times, such dll errors occur if the game is not installed completely. In this case, even i cant figure out the problem.
By the way, I have a HP Pavilion m7260in mcPC, bought in December 05.
meanwhile, i will reinstall it on my comp and see where the dll file exists
exactly and update you when done.
