When the vendetta.rlb executable is launch by the updater or started on its own, there is quick popup that states, "The program can't start because fmodex.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling blah blah blah". Not a big deal, since if I press OK Vendetta starts up and runs just fine.

It is sort of weird to be missing something though, any clue what it is?

Running a pretty fresh (circa early February) install of Windows 7.

Have you installed manufacturer supplied sound drivers, or are you using the ones that come with Windows 7? fmodex.dll Should be installed along side your soundcard driver, so maybe try re-install them if you already have, or just try to install them if using MS supplied drivers.

Everything is installed properly(redid sound card installation) and the weird thing is that fmodex.dll is even in the VO/drivers folder- but still VO insists it doesn't exist.

I'm really just curious as to what I am missing out on.
