ashx: I can't for the life of me, get it running in my vista business 32bit laptop.
Downloaded/installed latest directx9 when it complained of d3dx9_42.dll missing.
Now when i start pg2uk220.exe it crashes.
run as admin - click everything under compatibility and tested 95/98/xp mode. still no go.
Anyone run this? i'm using a Toshiba laptop with an intel built in GC. 945 mobile express chipset

Thanx to klkern58 for the great find. It's fixed now.
Rename DDRAW.DLL in PG2 main folder after you installed the latest Directx 9.
I've a theory that some dude in GOG who was packaging the game had a DDRAW.DLL problem. So took a shortcut by downloading just the dll file and smack in the root folder to get it to work. It's an unsafe but sometimes worked fix in other games.

RENAME IT TO WHAT???????????????????????????????????????
Man, come on, don't talk in riddles. PLEASE!
edit:
ok, the direct x update worked for me, so i personly don't care anymore about the answer.
But still: rename ddraw.dll without ANY info about the new name is kind of cruel, if you ask me....
