Bemuse Posted July 20, 2002 Author Share Posted July 20, 2002 Do you have a problem with the text not showing up in the menus? Are you running XP? I don't think you will need to back up your whole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bemuse Posted July 20, 2002 Author Share Posted July 20, 2002 I don't think I have read about anyone that has had any problems with it. It is a Microsoft patch. I have XP and I used it without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sig_XP Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Rudolf i don't think that the link you gave is the right one because the patch mentioned in the readme is "If a Direct3D-Based Screen Saver Is Running (Q306676)" and the one on the link is "Unchecked Buffer in Universal Plug and Play (Q315000)" Anyway the link for the PORTUGUESE version of windows is: http://download.microsoft.com/downloa....PTG.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bemuse Posted July 26, 2002 Author Share Posted July 26, 2002 No problems installing the patch? no errors or anything? Try extracting the files from the patch using winzip or winrar, to a folder on your desktop. Then copy the d3d8.dll file into your windows\system32 folder.
