I have windows XP, and have played renegade for a long time, i installed some skins before rengaurd came out but when rengaurd came out it wouldnt let me play because of the skins so i decided to reinstall renegade.
I inserted DISC 1 (game disc) into my CD-ROM drive D (I have another CD-ROM drive which is E) and started up SETUP.EXE.
It came up in a window titled "Update DCOM2W98.DLL"
The text in the window is exactly this:"An older version of DCOM2W98.DLL exists on your system. Renegade requires this file be updated. Please update this file now." with a continue or cancel button at the bottom. Cancel of course just closes the program so i clicked continue.
it looked like it downloaded something then that took 2 secs and another error popped up. It was titled "Error" and the text said "A newer version of Dcom95 or DCOM98 has been installed. To override, you must uninstall the current version first. I clicked OK.
AND THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER ERROR. titled "RUNDLL" the text saying "Error loading setupx.dll The specified module could not be found"
Once again i clicked OK.
Then the Renegade setup window popped up again saying "You will need to reboot your system before continuing with the Setup program. You will need to rerun the Setup program after restarting your system to continue installing the game. Would you like to reboot your system now?"
The first time i clicked yes. after my comp rebooted it have me all the same errors i have previously stated. except this time when i got to the YES or NO on the reboot i clicked NO.
I waited in "anticipation" for yet another error to pop up but that was the end of them
I did run the go_ez program and got this info "This program has detected that you are running an NT based operating system. Due to the nature of NT kernel, some information may be incomplete."
my directX is DirectX 7 and i have Operating system "Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 5.1.2600"
I have provided ALOT of information, but if there is any more you need to help me with this problem i would be glad to see if i could get it to you.
----JUST HELP ME PLZ----

It should have let you play renegade even if you have skins. If you have .w3d files in there, then that is a different story.

First, Renegade needs DirectX 8.0
Second, what are you doing with Windows 2000 pro with sp2. Which is old really.. Sp4 is out like since 2003. So get that asap from the windows update site. Get alot of other updates too. You need to do this unless you want to get exploited. It also fixes alot of issues with the software.
It might even fix the problem you have.
