LEGO® Rock Raiders Troubleshooting


Game Installer not running
First try running the installing in compatibility mode for Windows 98. If it still does not work, you can still salvage your game by following this guide.

"Missing d3drm.dll" error when running Rock Raiders
Firstly you'll need to download the missing DLL here. Then place this DLL file in your installation directory (Usually "c:\Program Files\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders\" ) or in your Windows System/System32 folder.

Game Videos not playing
First ensure you have the game disc in the drive as the video files are on the disc. If the videos still don't play you may need to install this required AVI codec.

Music won't play
The game is burnt like an audio CD, allowing it to be played in CD players. First ensure you have the game disc in the drive as the music files are on the disc. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the music not to play, may users have this issue.

  • Run the game with compatibility mode for Windows 98 or Windows XP. Turn on 'Disable Visual Themes' and 'Disable Desktop Composition'.
  • Run the game in administrator mode.
  • Run the game in windowed mode.
  • Try the Microsoft Compatibility Toolkit.
If these solutions are unable to fix your problem, please post a topic in this forum.
