ddraw is Direct Draw, right? Reinstalling the latest version of DirectX should fix it, I thought. Make sure it's the latest version. I'm not sure what the latest version is at the moment actually, but Windows' site shouldn't have anything for download but the latest version.
You didn't get a Windows CDROM with your computer? That's really not good at all. That's something you absolutely need. Not just for reinstalling the whole OS, but sometimes if you add new hardware you need the CD for drivers too.

If you're using a nVIDIA card (which you probably do, anyway, since it's <b>so</b> common in desktop PCs), go to this place www.nvidia.com and download the latest drivers.
Yup,
I have an NVIDIA and I've already updated it.
Turns, I did some messing around online last night, and the problem was a line was missing from the [boot] section of "system.ini", so I added it and it seems to have corrected everything. No more DLL's errors, my sound card is working again, and so it Starcraft.
Problem now, is, FF8 is acting up. Whenever I open it, it goes to a black screen (as if it were starting) then it blinks, and goes back to my desktop as if nothing happened. I messed with the graphic acceleration, but that doesn't seem to be the cause. Any suggestions?
