Same thing happened to me. I updated to DX 9.0c months ago through the Windows Update feature, which apparently leaves out some key files. To fix the problem, I downloaded the *full* DX 9.0c file through Windows web page ( www.microsoft.com/directx/ ), installed it, and lo and behold, M&B works like a charm.Ganelon 说:When installing the full version, it says that i dont have DirectX 9.0c installed. Checked it and i actually have it, any idea what i should do? And yeah, after installing the game still wont start up, again complaining about that direct x. Re-installed the game and direct x already.
*laughs* I'm on dialup too, and it's bad, but not *that* bad.Dryvus 说:Okay, I may just wait until a stable version is announced. With dial-up, I don't even get to play the latest version before the next one is out!

For good or bad, not everybody lives in or near a city. Here in the middle of nowhere (also known as the Australian outbackHenry V 说:56k still exists?! In the UK it's actually cheaper to have broadband!

Who said anything about 56K? I connect at a speed of 28.8K. And finally, someone else who realizes that not everybody lives in an urban or built-up area. Somebody tell the communications companies. But it's true, it only takes half an hour for the updates, but it took me from 11 one night to 1 the next night, because my connection is an absolute piece of **** which disconnects periodically whenever you download stuff. Sometimes the data will be in the browser cache, sometimes not.Jorjowsky 说:For good or bad, not everybody lives in or near a city. Here in the middle of nowhere (also known as the Australian outbackHenry V 说:56k still exists?! In the UK it's actually cheaper to have broadband!), the only options for accessing internet are through your telephone wires (ie. dialup), or satellite internet at outrageous prices.
