Tonight I just tried again, put the d3d9.dll file in the rFactor folder and the game didn't crash... It seems to work quite randomly, I don't understand why

Well unfortunately I spoke too fast I shut down my computer before having dinner, switched it on after that, launched rFactor and it crashed like before... If I delete the d3d9.dll file from the rFactor folder, the game doesn't crash anymore, so the problem is really about this dll,something going wrong with the SP1 of Vista maybe.

tvstyle's d3d9.dll is not the directx file but our software that use d3d9.dll. Have you DVD version ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope I have the downloaded version, also I recently re-installed the game using the 1.255 full installer. If you need someone who have Vista SP1 to test things, I'll gladly help. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> can you post me the error's image with detailed informations <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is just a standard windows error popup saying that rFactor stopped working. It happens that way : I launch the game, the rFactor splashscreen appears, then my screen goes black and I have this error popup (whereas I should see the ISI logo screen then the video intro etc...). Now something weird, some minutes ago I tried to lauch the game (with right click > administrator rights, and also with a simple double left-click), the game crashed as usual. But then one of my attempts to launch it worked, the game didn't crash. I did a testing session just to see and TV Style Display was working ! I closed the game and try to lauch it again, it was working all the time like there never was a problem. Then I rebooted my computer to see if it would still work and what I thought happened, it wasn't working anymore the game just kept crashing every time like before. So to sum it up, it just worked randomly at some point for whatever reason and then it didn't work anymore... and it's frustrating lol. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> mmm try this: - run rfactor without TV-STYLE - set a default rfactor series (no mods) - exit from the game - install TV-STYLE - run rfactor <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good guess, it worked I tried to select another mod, exit rFactor then re-launch it, it also worked (and I tried this with several mods), the game doesn't crash anymore. To confirm that I also rebooted my computer, still working So I think we can say the problem is solved, thanks

I have the same problem, as I posted here on rFactorCentral. I went to my Windows/System32 folder to copy my d3d9.dll file and paste it in the rFactor folder, at first I thought it worked (the game launched normally) but I just didn't have TV Style displaying under the game, like it wasn't installed. I tried many differents versions of d3d9.dll that I could find on the net, without success so far. By the way, why the d3d9.dll file supplied with the 0.91 update is so small ?
