I had same problem when i installed Silverdale on my pc, try to reinstall that game back to your pc, or reinstall runtimes.

Grey screen ingame?

If yes just remove picCover ;-)

It is EA, there isn't any piccover

Since you formatted your computer (or did I misunderstand) install the run times file.

Search at the code PicCover.visible = True

and remove it or comment it out

That is a nice tutorial, however it still didin't work. I did every single step on there and even the "regsvr32 cmcs21.ocx" etc.

The only problem i had was when i typed "regsvr32 stdole2.tlb" a error came saying "The module @stdole2.tlb@ was loaded but the entry-point DLLregsiterServer was not found. Make sure that "Stdole2.TLB" is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again."

Great! i tried the other ones and they worked now, Thanks for the help guys.

The problem is when i run my old one which i have all the files, a error came up saying

"Run-time error 9" Subscript out of range. That must be somehting with the source codes?

Nvm, i lost all the date of the game. Thanks anyway guys

If the game is dx7 it uses dx7 runtimes. The dx8 engine uses other runtimes, so basicly if you have dx7 engine and dx8 runtimes (or switched) it results to a grey screen and error.

i manged to get my data back, the only problem is when i press on my 'character button' a error come up saying Unrecovable DX8 error.

Any ideas?

I'm confused, are you using EM or EA? Your posts seem to be switching between the two. That is an old bug to do with dx8 rendering that was in older version of EA, from what I remember (though this may be wrong) it was fixed in the newer versions of EA and I think EM has the fixed versions.

The weather system in EA would give that bug a lot. You have to delete the map file and rebuild the map if you keep getting that error when you enter or edit that map.

Not sure what you're talking about Mortal. EM has no picCover and there is no code that matches that for picCover, neither does EA. picCover is from the dx7 engines, not dx8…[/background]

[**Ertzel**](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/user/48743-ertzel/), I managed to fix the grey screen error. Also i am using Eclipse advance becouse i installed Mega to see if the grey screen will still be there and it was.

The only problem i got now is with the DX8 error when i press on the 'Char' button

Then make sure you got a face fr your character in the graphics folder of the client.

check in modGrapics maybe you edit that

It is pretty hard to pinpoint the area where the Error occurs, because the calling sub handles the error.

In this case, the sub(Render_Graphics) that calls all the other rendering subs. If an error occurs in one of the render subs, the Render_graphics sub will catch it and handle it. So the best way to find the line erroring would be to comment out the error handler and cause the error.

Follow these steps to remove the error handler code.

Go to Mod_Graphics.

find the following part of code

```

on error goto

```
comment this line out by adding a " **'** " in front of the line.

Then run the client and do whatever you have to, to cause the error. Debug it and find the line of code that is erroring. Try posting it here for the best chances and solving your problem.
