I keep getting cannot find dinput.dll error when trying to run TRII.

    You need to (re)install the latest version of DirectX 5.0 onto your machine. You can find this the latest version of DirectX 5.0 on the TRII CD in the folder directx. Run the dxsetup.exe. You may be attempting to run TRII on a computer operating under Windows NT 4.0.

TRII is showing a Fatal Exception Error message.
    Try reinstalling DirectX 5.0, and answer Yes to every prompt. If problems persist, consult your hardware manufacturer. You may need to update the drivers for your sound card and video card.

I keep getting a Runtime C++ Error when trying to run TRII.
    You need to (re)install the latest version of DirectX 5.0 onto your machine. You can find the latest version of DirectX 5.0 on the TRII CD in the folder directx. Run the dxsetup.exe. Also double-check your system's date. If the year is incorrect, change it to the current year.

I have a Rendition Verite 1000 and the game crashes out immediately after the copyright screen has been displayed.
    The Rendition Verite 1000 has difficulty the playing Full Motion Videos and this is why the game crashes out. If you experience this problem, you can turn off the FMV's in the game by selecting the Advanced tab in Setup, and checking the Disable FMV box. If you wish to view the FMV's in the game, updated drivers for your Rendition card are included on the CD, in the Drivers\Rendition 1000 directory. This set of drivers is more recent than the drivers installed by DirectX 5. Installation instructions are provided in the readme.txt file in the same directory.

What is your experience of Virtual CD/DVD drives?

I have a couple of virtual drives that I use all the time.

I have one installed but have never used it.

I'm aware of them but have never needed one.
