Seems like you didn't enable directplay. Try to enable it in Windows instead of simply downloading the dll file.
(FIXED)
Already did. Restarted a bunch of times. Still the same. I guess it's my machine and it might have some hidden problems somewhere.
EDIT:
I actually left a manually dled dplaxy.dll on there. so i deleted it and it now ran. Problem though is that the words are all on question marks. It seems the language settings aren't set.
