Whenever I try to start a game it says that the game has caused an error in 'DDRAW.dll'

What the heck does that mean ?
Please all you clever people,
HELP

Part Of: DirectX
Description: ddraw.dll is a DirectX DLL which allows multimedia applications to draw 2D graphics.

It is a problem with your DirectX. Do a google search for "DDRAW.DLL" and you should get how to fix it.

Thanks, I've went on google and searched for DDRAW.DLL and it has listed a load of sites, One of them gave me a file download, So I have got the file and now I need to put it on my other computer and see if it works.
THANK YOU
