    Hi, hopefully someone can help me.....
    I installed NHL 2001 correctly, but when I put the cd in and try to get the game going I get an ABORT MESSAGE THAT SAYS THE FOLLOWING:
    THRASH_OPENDLL- LOAD LIBRARY FAILED ON "Z"
    GETLASTERROR CODE IS 1157.
    CHECK THIS DLL IS INSTALLED. DIRECT VERSION IS 8.

    WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THE GAME RUNNING?

    Okay

    Lets see what type of video card you have.

    Go to ControlPanel | System. Device Manager

    Under Display, can you tell me the name of the video card? You may have to expand the + to find out.

    Also, what OS are you using?

    Regards

    Okay

    You have onboard graphics and it says it supports 3D, but I have found a reply from someone with the exact same problem. In fact, its the only one I could find on the newsgroups.

    It mentions putting your Display to 32-bit colour. To do this, go to Control Panel | Display. Settings, and then change the colour settings.

    However, there are a variety of answers here:

    Have you tried running it manually using the nhl.exe manually from Windows Explorer?

    Is it the full game and not the demo?

    Someone again ran EASports 3Dsetup executable, which I assume is the one in Windows Explorer.

    Anyway, it seems that the final method of the exe worked with everyone. Can you try that first, and if still no joy, let me know.

    Regards

    Hiya

    Mine goes to 24 as well. Maybe it was a typo.

    Anyway, I have found the drivers:

    http://developer.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/810.htm?iid=PCG+devside&

    but, you say you have version PV1.1. Well, right at the bottom is the only ones with 1.1, but they're only for 810 not 810e. Can you confirm this?

    What it does is asks you to install a Utility first:

    http://developer.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/inf.htm

    Then to install the driver, but lets just confirm the full version first before you do.

    Did you have a go at the running of the game manually through nhl.exe in the Windows Explorer? That worked for a lot of people.

    Regards
