Sid Meirs Pirates Issue

[ninjabib]

Hello

When trying to start this game i'm getting an error message 'MSVCP71.DLL, not found'

Setup is p4 3 gig,
1 gig ddr 2ram
xp pro
64 meg integ gfx
standard pci slot with vga connection


downloaded dll file and placed in game directory and windows directory system32 folders, still no joy.

Not sure whether the integ gfx support HW T+L which is in minimum requirements so do you think buying an old PCI gfx card would resolve this issue?

Thanks

Copy the DLL into the Windows System32 directory. Go to start-> run and type in "regsvr32 MSVCP71.dll" (without the ").
This writes the DLL into the registry and the game should run.
