Well, thanks for all your help, and I've got some news....... I'd given up trying to get the darn thing running as you'd said, as it just wasn't working. I went away for a few days, and when I came back, there was my wonderful, wonderful teenage son playing away on it on XP !! Turns out I'd not unzipped a 2nd folder downloaded within, and also I'd not downloaded WinRar and used that. (How was I to know ??!!) Anyroadup, the game now works brilliantly, BUT...... I can't save games !! I get a pop-up saying 'autosave failed', & when I try to save a game a game at any stage, all I get is the saved game box, with drives C and D shown, but no dir's in them (plenty of space on the hd.) Tried to click on the drive, but nothing opens. More bright ideas welcome ! Many festives & A Happy Noo Wotsits !! -- Richard Roocroft
