Mission Editor wont run properly when D3D9.DLL present

Hi,

When I run the mission editor in GWX then where the map should be I only get a black rectangle. If I rename/delete the D3D9.dll file then the editor runs fine.

I then have to reinstate D3D9.dll if I want to run the game.

Any ideas why this is happening and how can I fix it, or will it cause any issues?

The ME does NOT like WS mods at all... The main problem being that a "circle" is no longer a "circle", but rather an "oval", as well as other graphic anomalies that the Stock ME will encounter with a WS enabled and "stretching" the screen. Different WS mods will be slightly different as to what you will be able to see in the ME window, but ME will not display correctly in any.
