System: BX2000+, PIII-933/133, 512mb ram, GF2GTS 32MB. Cannot launch game beacuse of this error. I tried change GTS to MX440, removing all drivers, installing older drivers and installing unoficcial DX9 pack. I tried to force DX6, DX7 and DX8. Has anyone had a similar problem?

IIRC to work on W98SE you need an old release, as 98 was removed pretty soon from support and/or updates .
It will install or not and have all sorts of issues.
I had W2K so I never minded, with XP I stopped caring.

I write from memory, I'm no expert but still am a great lover and supporter.
I want episode 3.

PC#2 PIII-1Ghz - 98SE/W2K

I think Nexxen is right, I went to play HL 2 last year as I've had a disc with it around forever but never played it, only to also discover some similar problem with it on my win98 system. Ended up just playing it via steam/newer PC as I don't have anything vintage with win xp.
