-And finally, Microsoft has the habit of updating DirectX without changing the version number. The originally released DirectX 9.0c is very different from the DirectX 9.0c that is available for download on Microsoft's site today. If you encounter any problems with running openDarkEngine download the latest DirectX installer and run it to update your DirectX. If the problem persists please follow these steps:
+I you have any problems running openDarkEngine:
 
+1. Make sure you have the Microsoft VC8 redist package installed. If you get an error messages similar to "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect" it is very likely that you are missing the VC8 redist package. You can get it from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

+2. Microsoft has the habit of updating DirectX without changing the version number. The originally released DirectX 9.0c is very different from the DirectX 9.0c that is available for download on Microsoft's site today. If you still encounter any problems with running openDarkEngine (especially with missing DirectX DLLs) download the latest DirectX installer and run it to update your DirectX. 
+
+If the problem persists please follow these steps:
+
 1. Press "Start", choose "Run", type "dxdiag" and press "ok". On the window that opens click on "Save All Information..." and save it to "DxDiag.txt".
 2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory that you have installed openDarkEngine, then enter the following command:
 tree/f >tree.txt
 This should create a file called "tree.txt" in the same folder.
 3. In the directory that you installed openDarkEngine zip up all the .cfg files and .log files, the two files "DxDiag.txt" and "tree.txt" that were created above, and the generated shortcuts ("opde (Thief 1)", "opde (Thief 2)" and "opde (Shock 2)") and send the zip file to ope...@gm... .
