I've just bought EU2, and am having some difficulty installing it under Win95. Can you help, please?
An error occurred when the installation program tried to install DirectX 8.1 (I have an earlier version installed). I tried to install it manually by running file DX81eng.exe from the CD-ROM, and I got the error message "This version of DirectX is not compatible with the version of Windows currently installed." I know Win95 is pretty ancient, but the box does list it as an O/S which EU2 will run under.
If I go ahread and run EU2 anyway, I get the error message "A required .DLL file, WS2_32.DLL, was not found."
Perhaps I should mention that I only have a 166 MHz (Pentium I?) processor, not the 200 MHz Pentium II which is specified, so I'm prepared to accept that EU2 might not run on my system anyway. But it seems like my current problem has nothing to do with the processor type.
I couldn't find anything about this problem in the self-help guide. I've read the "IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE POSTING HERE" thread. Here are all the technical details you asked for:
I am using the EU2 Ubisoft Exclusive version
I am running Win95 OSR2 ("Windows version 4.0")
Gateway 2000 desktop w/ Intel Pentium 166 MHz MMX
64 Mb RAM
33 Gb free on my HDD
Video chip: 3D Rage LT Pro with 2 Mb RAM
Sound chip: Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16
DirectX v7.0 (4.07.00.0700)

Richard Wein.
