Also the EVE folder in My documents can be copied across if you so wish. Just copying those locations across and assuming the install location of EVE doesn't change no settings should be lost. Although if it does simple renaming of the internal folders can fix that. ------------------------------------- The system issues man.
Ram Strider Destructive Influence	Posted - 2010.01.19 21:56:00 - [3] Ahh, I deleted the EVE folder in mydocs because I presumed the program folder in C: Program Files/CCP would hold everything could this be why I cannot load EVE and get a .dll message?

Been a very long time since I've done any development work of any sort, so excuse the lack of proper terminology; .dll's are special files that need to be registered in the system registry. There are some third party applications out there that will allow you to do this manually, but generally you need to do this with the setup program. Simple copying fails since the application is looking inside the registry and cannot find the entry for the .dll.

Simple copying fails since the application is looking inside the registry and cannot find the entry for the .dll. No, that's not correct. A dll can be put anywhere and used by any application provided that the application can find it and knows how to call the entry points. Typically the search order is application root > system32 folder. Some things can be registered like things that use DCOM, .NET or COM+. Knowing exactly what the error message is would be helpful to figure out what is wrong.
Kembla Shinko Setsuei	Posted - 2010.01.20 03:38:00 - [6] EVE Online requires d3dx9_35.dll and d3dx9_41.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32. No registry imports or installations are required.
Kedryn Caitin Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2010.01.20 03:54:00 - [7] Your error looks like a directX one. After formatting, have you updated directx at all? I would start with that and if you have not yet, your video drivers for good measure. --------------------- "Men are plain and simple. Love is like a pimple.

More specifically, the program will look in the application's root directory first, and will then look through all of the directories listed in the PATH environment variable, in order (of which C:\windows\system32 is the default value) ---------- There is always a choice. The choice might not be easy, nor simple, nor the options be what you desire - but, nevertheless, the choice is there to be made.
