RE: real flight help

I would go to Real Flight tech support, give them the error code, and see if they have a patch to fix that. A .dll (dynamic link library) file is a shared file meaning it may be common to several differnt applications on your computer. It is found in the Windows system directory. A word to the wise..."don't fool around with the system directory unless you really know what you are doing." Hopefully tech support will have you up and flying in no time. Good luck!

PS: I have ran it on Win 98 SE and Win XP with no hitches. I don't have any expertise on Win ME. Sorry.
