RTX 3080 and ARB WIDEGUI ISSUE SOLVED ...

Well, I found that there are no less than 8 variants of "d3d9.dll" on my new RTX 3080 computer ranging in size from 72.1 KB to 1.54 MB. I noted that the newest 1.54 MB version resided in my SH3 directory. My guess here is that if Windows needs but does not find a copy of "d3d9.dll" in your application directory referenced by an .INI file, it will get and use the latest and greatest version.

I noted on my portable computer with working SH3+ARB that the "d3d9.dll" was 190 KB in size -- a version which did not exist on my new machine. So I copied this version over to my new machine with the RTX 3080, replaced the version in my SH3 directory, and now SH3 with ARB Widegui works great on the new machine. WOO HOO!
