A solution for a(n annoying) technical problem.

The thing I had recently, is that Win XP told me that C:\Windows\system32 is corrupted, and so, is unreadable. Some files from this directory has disappeared, including (gulp!) DDRAW.DLL
I tried to run return to wonderland... and it needs the ddraw.dll! Grrr, this is getting annoying.
Then I tried to scandisc -- it said that it cannot complete the disk check...
I then wanted to do a defrag, but then I accidently hit reset, and see, the automatic scanner fixes all the problems, including the "disappeared" ddraw.dll!
So, if windows tells you about C:\Windows\system32 being corrupt, and the game asks for a "missing" ddraw.dll, JUST HIT RESET, IT SHOULD WORK! :D
I hope I have helped you. If not, then in the future it will help someone.
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

I tried, but couldn't add DDRAW.DLL manually, cause it kept telling me that the directory is corrupt! Then I hit reset, as described in the first post, and wa-hey!
But those links will help someone too.
