I recommend NOT storing it under Program Files or similar protected folders, unless you know how to modify the file permissions to give it write access. The feature you need to fix TRA is not in that old version, either.įor most people, I recommend putting it in a folder under your My Documents folder. Ignore it, and download one of the RAR archives from under Files / Latest Build.
I think that is flagged as the 'latest' build in error, and it's an old version and just a standalone exe that won't even work by itself. Important: Ignore anything on that site which suggests downloading dxwnd.v2.02.02.fixed.exe. I used v2_02_83_build.rar which is the latest build at the time of writing. You can fix this using newer versions of DxWnd, which also lets you run the game in a borderless window. If you try to run Tomb Raider: Anniversary on a multi-monitor system, you may find both monitors keep flashing and the game never properly starts.
EDIT: If you don't mind turning off Aero while playing TRA, apparently that also fixes things and is MUCH easier! See comment thread below.
