im in the process of installing MGE and i've done everything correctly, to my knowledge atleast. When I attempt to run Morrowind an error message pops up, saying "The program cannot start because the d3dx9_30.dll file is missing..." - So I checked another forum and it told me to download the latest redistributed version of directx9; which I did, so my question here is... When I go to install the redistributed directx9 version, where do I place the extracted files? To be more specific, a message pops up when I attempt to run the directx saying "Please type the location where you want to place the extracted files." I have no clue what that means or where I'm supposed to place the files.

You can place the files anywhere you want. What you downloaded was an archived.packaged version of the DirectX package and you have to extract it to somewhere, like c:\temp, then run DXSETUP.exe. After that, the installer should start and walk you through installing DirectX 9.0c.

hah thanks so much it worked, the only problem now is Morrowind crashes when I try and play. Oh well, back to the drawing board I suppose :\

I know there is a thread somewhere on this site about MGE and Morrowind crashes but I can't seem to find it so I'll just ask here- Ive successfully downloaded and installed everything, but now the game crashes the moment I attempt to play. Any solutions?
