I didn't replace any DLL files. I have DirectX 9.0, DirectX 11 (included with Windows), and C++ redistributable 2008 x86 and x64. I tried so many times and in the crash, it says that the fault module is ntdll.dll. I didn't replace that dll, what's wrong (I'm trying to run Stepmania 5.0.6)?

if you're still using the same windows instalation where you dumped those random DLL's randomly the damage is still being done, even if you install direct 11, I bet the ntdll.dll which ya downloaded and put in system32 is still creating a conflict, so you need to make sure you clean out all those dll's ya downloaded and added, and even then those dll's could have already fucked up so much shit so ya, end of the story, dont download random dll's
Its not a bug its a FEATURE!

Oh boy.

First of all, you shouldn't download DLLs off the internet, you're supposed to actually install directx and whatever else the program requires.
Secondly, you should probably try running the PC repair tool from Windows 7.

Wait a minute. Isn't that malware?

It's probably some issue with those DLLs still, again. This error seems to happen because you grabbed DLLs that are the wrong architecture. Delete them. You shouldn't need them.

In any case, the problem is with your computer and none of us have enough information to actually figure out what happened. It is not a bug in StepMania, it happens before SM is actually running.

Well, it's weird considering that it only seems to work in the nightly builds, but I want to get 5.0.7 to work.
