how to run a d3drm.dll file on a 64amd vista

[mojojr]

I am having a problem with this stupid error message when I try to play my cockpit master flight simulator. Is there anyway to download a d3drm.dll file on a 64amd or is it hopeless. I just want to play my game.

I am having the same problem with the cockpit master program with vista and the fix is not working for me. Any Ideas? The download doesn't seem to be working.
thanks

Hello,

Try these runtimes instead: Download details: DirectX Redist (February 2010)

Dear Richard,

Thank you for the help. Another question: it asks me where to put the files and I've tried C drive, program files, and others. It keeps telling me that these are invalid, find one that can be written to. Shouldn't some of these work? The only place it seems to want to go is the Desktop--and then it keeps asking me if I want to overwrite LOTS of stuff. That makes me nervous. Do you think this is an adequate place to put the cockpit program?

Thanks.

Hello,

• Create a new folder on your Desktop and call it DXRuntime.

• Extract the files to this new DXRuntime folder.

• Open this folder and run DXSetup.exe and follow the instructions like any other normal installer.

Hopefully this should solve your original problem and DXSetup.exe will not prompt for a directory.

Thanks for the help but I I don't think I am smart enought to do this. after all my work I still get a window saying there is no d3drm.dll program and a desktop covered with small blue file cabnets. and still nothing works.

Hello,

Just to confirm, have you managed to install DXSetup.exe? Also, if you navigate to C:\Users\AccountName\Desktop and order by Type, you could easily delete all the .cab files. This would still leave 2-3 unwanted files on your Desktop, but would easily solve 95% of the problem. You could then delete these last few files.

Richard,

I appreciate you continuing to help me with this. I got all the "stuff" off my desktop. And, it appears the directX has been installed and is in C Program Files. However, when I go to cockpit master, run through the steps--all is going well--I get to the end and get the message that d3drm.dll has not been installed. Is it a problem that the cockpit master and the directX are not in the same part of the computer? I'm running the cockpit master off the disk in D drive and the computer seems to find it and load it up, but not to run it. Thank you for your help.

Hello,

This next step should fix the issue. Now that you have the latest version of DirectX installed, you need to manually install that .dll. Some old DirectX .dlls have been discontinued (in particular in Vista) and so old games requiring them will crash. However, if you manually add them, the games usually start to work.

Download d3drm.dll from here: d3drm.dll download - free dll files

and put it into your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and run the game. If that does not work because of the same error, put it into the C:\Windows\System32 directory and the game directory. These last two folders are not usually required.

If you get a different error asking for a different .dll, use the site above to find and download it. Then put it in those folders I have mentioned above. If you get a different error which you cannot solve, just ask me.

If you are worried about the safety of this procedure, then don't worry. This is a common and safe procedure that we carry out all the time. I have personally put in that exact d3drm.dll from that exact website to make a game work. I put it in and that game worked instantly. It is very rare for more than one .dll to need to be implanted for one game, but the highest I have ever seen is three. After doing a few of these games, you end up building a little collection of these discontinued .dlls in your System32/SysWOW64 directory, and games that would have problems suddenly don't!

Good luck and this should be the fixing move,

Richard
