MSIMG32.DLL

MBL/XBACoCommish · 12-30-2001, 12:09 PM

Ok, so it seems my topic is not getting any posts, so I can fix this. I am just going to ask this, because you all know the problem. DOES ANYONE HAVE WINDOWS 95?

From the Support Section of the OOTP3 Website, in the FAQ Section:

"When I start the game, it gives me the message "Required .DLL file not found: MSIMG32.DLL"
Do a search on your PC and see if you have that file. If not download by searching online for it. Either way "copy" it to your \windows\system32 or \windows\system folder."

Here's a URL to get the .dll:

Edit - Went to the old board, saw that you don't have WinZip. That could be a slight problem.

Edit Again - E-mail sent to you, just put that .dll in your windows/system folder, or your windows/system32 folder.

I have tried sending him the file before but perhaps if you are running Windows95 he'll have better luck this time.

This may be the problem - here are some quotes from the net after a search for MSIMG32 and Win95.
From <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/membm.asp" target="_blank">The Visual Studio Code Project</a>:
"...which reside in msimg32.dll. As far as I know, this DLL is not part of Win95, it is included in MS OSes starting from Win98 and WinNT 4.0..."

Here is quote from <a href="http://www.torry.net/comp_meters.htm" target="_blank">Torry's Delphi Page</a>:
It is based on gradientfill function of msimg32.dll shipped by Windows 98 and 2000.

And these quotes from <a href="http://www.exhedra.com/xq/ASP/txtCodeId.12095/lngWId.1/qx/vb/scripts/ShowCode.htm" target="_blank">Planet Source Code</a>:
well it seems to that a required .dll
file is missing, where is it?
and
It's just too bad that TransparentBlt
works only under win98+, so it's quite
useless until everyone gets rid of win95
and
I'm sorry, but i didnt
realize that the "Msimg32.dll" is a
win98/NT/2000 thing... (darn 95
users... UPGRADE ALLREADY!!! =)

If these sites are all accurate then it might mean OOTP cannot be run in Win95 due to the Msimg32.dll issue. Has anyone here played OOTP3 on Win95? I think OOTP2 was playable on Win95 anyway.

Then my question is different now. Can I download OOTP2? If so, where?

It's not being sold on the OOTP page, but you could try eBay. OOTP3 is a lot better though, so hopefully you can get a OS upgrade in the future and play it.
