I don't know that much about games, never play them.
BUT it sounds like you did not read all of the instructions that came with
the game and verify that your system met all of the requirments.
DDRAW.DLL is part of the DirectX software package from Microsoft for supporting
games. And many games require the newer versions of DirectX to be installed on your
system. Often the CD will have a version of DirectX on it that you can install. But
to be safe, you need the latest version of DirectX 9.0c to be installed to
avoid the error message you are getting. You should have it installed (or can get
it) from the Microsoft Windows Update site.
However, this package is quite large and not something you want to download and
install if you only have a Dial-Up Internet connection. Best to download DirectX
9.0c Redistributable package on a broadband connected system and copy it to CD.
Then use the package to expand it to a work folder, then run its setup program.
