tagid Report post Posted July 5, 2006 oops .....sry bout the 2 threads the links i was refering to is in another post titled "can't run el after installing update" sorry for the confusion. everything was working fine untill i installed the update. the error report said somthing about "el.exe" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 5, 2006 get this measage from 2nd link.>>> " " " " " " " openal32.dll " " "The second makes no sense at all, and doesn't seem to be an error report from any existing operating system. unless you take the " to mean same word as above, and pretend that they line up. then it makes sence and has the same likely cause... update not in a fully installed dir Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aislinn Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Is your el.exe still in the folder with everything you installed when you try to connect? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aislinn Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Well that is what you click on to connect to the game. It looks like a light brown square with darker brown letters EL on it. It *should* be in your EL folder with everything else. If you don't have one, how are you trying to log on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aislinn Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Well there are 2 downloads...one is a full game, one is only a partial game called an update. You have to read very carefully to make sure you are downloading/installing the correct one. The update needs to be installed into an already existing complete game EL folder. It sounds like you downloaded and installed an update, not the game, because your dll's are missing. If you had downloaded the entire game, the openal32.dll and wrap_oal.dll, among other dll's, would be in that folder. I would suggest you uninstall/completely delete EVERYTHING you have related to EL and start over from this exact link: http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/download.php Either that, or you dragged your el.exe out of the folder and tried to connect with it in the wrong place.
