Hi I have an old Windows XP computer on which I used to play Transport Tycoon using the patch TTAlter but I want to transfer it to a new computer twin booting between XP and Vista so that my grandson can play it. I was going to just put the hard drive into the new computer but it does not fit, the old drive is IDE the new computer only takes SATA drives. So I saved the game folders to a CD and transferred it that way. However I have forgotten how to install it, the computer complains that the game is not installed. What have I forgotten? Also will it run in Vista? Thanks, Jan

Hi I have managed to get it to work. How is it that you can spend ages trying to get something to work and the minute you ask for help you figure it out? Now to see if I can get it to run in Vista. Thanks anyway, Jan.

Don't know about TTalter, but it'll work if you use TTDpatch. -- Jan Willem from Odijk, Netherlands jw dot van dot dormolen at xs4all dot nl New to this newsgroup?
