I've had terrible trouble getting AC to run with Vista. I've googled around, and none of the fixes seem to work for me, largely because when I try to install the application, I get the error message "C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT. . This required system file is missing. Choose 'Close' to terminate teh application" (16 bit Windows Subsystem is in the titlebar of this window) and the installer ends.
Now, by copying the CD's files to my harddrive, I can run the application by clicking on terran.exe. However, if I do that I don't get the sounds and the wonderful little movies that are part of the Alpha Centauri experience.
I think that if I copied the folders containing the soundtrack and the movies to the appropriate folder in the same directory as terran.exe, I could have a properly running game, just like I used to have when I was using WinXP.
Can anyone tell me when I ought to put these files and what directories they should be contained in?
Thanks
