WHDLoad under UAE...

Dont know if they are 888bytes long...i could check that.

I could test your key if you want.

I just checked my own key and it is also 888 bytes long, so that confirms that.

I would also be more than happy to test your key using WinUAE if you needed.

Just for information:
Dave (Harrison) has kindly tested my key and it works fine. It's just on all my machines it doesn't.
Really confused!

As suggested in a PM to you, if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, they come with Direct X 10 and/or 11. However WinUAE does require DirectX 9.0c to function fully and this version of DirectX needs to be manually installed alongside the newer versions in these OSs.

[Spirantho]

Good idea, but not in this case I'm afraid. WinUAE runs just fine, the problem is very much an emulatED error, not an emulatOR error.

I've run it under two Windows 7 machines, an AmigaOS 4 machine and a Morphos 2 machine. Same happens on all.

[Harrison]

Are you using the same Workbench setup on each? If so that is probably the issue.

Maybe it would be worth downloading one of the current ClassicWB versions and setting it up as a fresh install, adding your key to the S directory and seeing if Bloodwych (included by default with ClassicWB) will run. If that works then add and try a couple of other games. That will prove if it is something specific to your existing setups.

[Spirantho]

I tried ClassicWB!

It still didn't work! Same problem exactly!

Any chance I can try your keyfile please? You've got my key so you know I've registered it... but I'll understand if you don't want to send it me for fear of me distributing it.

I really don't understand what could be wrong. The only variable I can think of is my WB3.0 ADF file - maybe it's dodgy. I'll try with a WB3.1 one if I can find one...
