Thanks to Jan & Tom for replying, and the links look great too. I've 
been away on business, 7 today was the first chance to act on your 
suggestions.

Well, I've downloaded the Windows Tranny Tycoon, downloaded the patch, & 
still can't get it to work !

I get 'TTDPatch v2.0 rev 1(windows) starting......'
then 'not found TTDLOADW.OVL'
'GAMEGFX.EXE, no such file'.

Have made a folder called My TTDLX where I've unzipped to.

The files in this folder are :
mkptxt
ttdpatch
a brown icon ttdpatchw, which is what I double clicked on
ttdpt20r1w
ttdpatch.cfg

Where have I gone wrong ?

Hope it's not the graphics card, which is a SIS 650 on the main board.

TIA & regards.
