hey I was just curious, I tried to use the ddfixGUI.exe patch to fix my thief 2 grpahics and colors and it said something like "unable to find an instance of DDRAW.dll in the thief 2.exe. please get a prepatched version" or something like that. I meant to writie it down but I just happened to be on a computer with internet know so I thought I'd through that out there just as a stab in the dark. Any hints would be appriciated though my circumstances may differ because I run linux and am running thief with the emulator 'wine'.

Another option is to simply open thief2.exe in a hex editor and change the first instance of ddraw.dll to ddfix.dll.

Yeah, but a prepatched exe is easier for those not familiar with hex editing at all.

thank you for your help, i just had too much crap messed up with my thief 2 install so I dleleted it and well start fresh next time.
the thief2exe that I got from clearing fixed the hyper threading but not the colors so I though that it was reading the wrong thief.exe so I dleted the old one and crashed it. but again, thank you all, I'll do it right next time, for now I am going to do a fresh install of dark project and get uit runing perfectly and hopefully with dromed as well.
hemebond, are you a linux ueser?, if so do you know anything about speeding up dromed in wine? I have read and experienced it running very slowly.
