I wanted to have my brother play this game with me

but when I go to play SH3 with the GWX, I go to Commander and see my old saves.

I try to play one, or to start a new one, and it says:

"The program can't start because missionengine.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I am certain I have not changed anything ever since I played last, when it worked perfectly. Any idea why this would happen, or how to fix it?

Hi Gunnarr
What version of Windows are your running?

The error you are seeing is a graphics problem possibly due to your system being updated as you have stated that you have not played the game for a while.
It is most likely a Direct X problem.
Try re-installing from here.
DirectX 9.0C (http://filehippo.com/download_directx/)

Check that your graphic settings are still setup correctly.
