    alien vs predator demo problem

    I downloaded an alien vs predator demo from http://www.3dgamers.com and it was about 22.03 MB the problem is that after I unzipped it and double clicked its icon a thing popped up and said:

    A Required .DLL file, SMACKW32.DLL was not found.

    I am wondering how to fix this.


    I am running windows 98 second edition with an ATI 128 mb video graphics accelerator.

    by the way what is .DLL because I have seen this a lot, but don't know what it is?

    Not your fault, Bob.

    There were a few hours in between both threads being put up, and we both suggested the same resolution.
