    Is the word "FATAL" in the top bar of the windows error message box?   WHen does it come up?

    I have a problem every time I load the game at home when the loading bar gets just under the 'g' in loading, it stops.  I keep hitting enter or space and eventually the game loads, and runs fine.  I have seen the box that says Fatal, but there was not any text in the error message.

    For me, whenever I get the directdraw error it usually means that I don't have latest version of Direct X. I think latest is Direct X 9.0b, you got that?
