not finding dsound.dll

The ordinal 11 could not be located in the dynamic link library dsound.dll

Has anyone heard of this error message when trying to start the program. I have a computer at work and one at home. I get it at both places. Both run win2k pro.

I ran a search for the dsound.dll file on my computer and found it in two direcectories.

c:\winnt\system32 and
c:\winnt\system

do you have any suggestion?

thanks.
