One possible way to fix this should be to remove all FS prefixes in the
game, they aren't really needed.

If you are comfortable using a hex editor, you can open gamegfx.exe (make
a backup first!), find all occurences of "64 8A 04 18" and change the "64"
into "90" for all of them (everything in hex here). 

Then delete ttdloadw.ovl to make sure these changes get imported there.
That should theoretically fix the problem.
