Hello efeemmi, sorry to hear you're experiencing this problem. Please register dx7vb.dll:

1. Open up the cmd as an Administrator
2. Type "cd C:/Windows/Syswow64" without the quotes and press Enter
3. Type "regsvr32 dx7vb.dll" without the quotes and press Enter

You should receive a message stating if it was successful or not. If successful, try logging onto SMBO again. If you received an error message or still cannot get on SMBO, please post here again detailing the message.

Thank you for your support. After this steps i get "DllRegisterServer in dx7vb.dll succeded." message. But still im getting same error:
"Error initializing DirectDraw! Make sure you have DirectX7 or higher installed and a compatible graphics device. Err: 5, Desc: Invalid procedure call or agument"

If there is any log file and if you want to examine dxdiag or that log file, i can sent it to you. I have no idea whats causing to this problem. System language or resulotion... Maybe nvidia surround, three monitor (5760x1920) is the reason. Some games (example: naruto 3 ultimate blabla) doesnt work when nvidia surround enable. i will disable and try now.... Still same error. Ok Nvidia surround isn't a problem.

Hi efeemmi,

The issue might be that one or more of the graphics files are not being read properly. Please open up the folder where you have SMBO installed, and then go to the "GFX" folder. Make sure that all of the files in the folder have the ".smbo" file extension. If you see any files with a different file extension, please delete them and then try running SMBO again.

Also, be sure to put the SMBO folder in a location where its contents are not blocked. The Desktop or the Documents folder typically works best.

"C:\SMBO\GFX" all files have .smbo extention.  there is .grf.c (0KB) in SMBO directory is it normal? That file is empty.

That's normal, The .grf.c is not something to worry about, and for the problem, it does say you need direct X, Which can be installed here.

Please move the SMBO folder from the C: drive. That folder is more restricted than most. Please move it to Desktop or Documents and then try running SMBO again. If that doesn't work, try temporarily disabling your anti-virus and then running SMBO again. If none of those steps work, please let me know so I can see what else we can try.

As Arkip said, yes, the .grf.c file is normal and isn't anything to worry about.

I hope that helps!
