I recently upgraded my Windows 2000 Professional installation to DirectX 9.0
and now Links 2003 will not load.  I have an ATI Radeon 9700 Professional
video card with the latest drivers from their website.  The game previously
worked properly under DirectX 8.1.  Any ideas?

There are not any patches for Links 2003 that I am aware of.  I don't know
if ATI needs to release a new driver to correct the problem or if it is a
Microsoft problem.

The error that I receive is as follows:

'Links 2003 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for
the inconvenience.'

'AppName:  linksmmiii.exe        AppVer: 22.7.8.241  ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.0.2195.5400              Offset: 0004cfe8'

Regards.
