Just recently, my Windows 10 gaming PC had died. So, I decided to install PSOBB on my older Windows XP machine. For some reason, the launcher doesn't seem to apply the resolution settings correctly (though all of the other settings apply no problem), also Virtual Fullscreen doesn't seem to work (might just be a limitation). However, the biggest problem is that the game fails to load the DLL. I get "No DLL" in the bottom-left corner when the game is running instead of the proper "Ultima ver 0.13", and I cannot connect / log in to the server. Just sits waiting at "Connecting to the server, please wait...".

I used to be able to play this in XP, so I don't know what happened. Does the DLL have any external dependencies? Like any specific Visual C++ Runtimes, or anything of the sort?

EDIT: This is a fresh install too. Using the latest installer from the site. Running on Windows XP SP3, fully updated... and running .NET framework 4.0.3 as well. Dunno if that helps.

It is 32-bit. I can't even install 64-bit on here anyway, since it's not a 64-bit CPU.

I am also using the latest drivers available for my hardware.

Does it make any difference that I'm running Media Center Edition?

    All I have installed is some utilities I use ... Checking updates, I only have (KB955704) I'm pretty much sure I do not have any C Restrib's installed.

    Usually when I have an issue with a new build like I have with PSOBB before ... do a complete uninstall, reboot and install again with the latest installer.

    If you get an error with uninstallation, you may need to clean your registry manually.

    Actually ... Checking again ... "Appwiz.cpl" has PSOBB and PSOBB 3.0 and I do not have DLL issues.

    I'll check my Windows 7 and Windows 10 Boxes as well to see what Re-destribs I have. But I do not recall ever needed any on fresh installs of OS's.

    I remember when the "Latest PSO Installer" came out ... 4.0 I think ... I had to reinstall to get it to work. That's the only other thing I can think of.

You might want to check if there is any error message in the event viewer

"To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer."

It might possibly be "Media Center Edition" ... I can't use specific information ... but I remember people having issues back in the day with programs running because the OS is missing certain components compared to the HOME or PROFESSIONAL version.

I hate to ask ... and I'm not sure if I can ... but you aren't using a pirated version of the OS, are you?  Also, are you using an original CD or one with the latest updates/service packs Slipstreamed?

My apologies.  Still getting used to Forum's New Format.
