Excellent. I will see what I can do. I understand covering the bases. I also am not one for altering game content but since this was just plain broken and never finished to begin with, I am making an exception. As for what I am trying to do, it is to make as few alterations as possible to get them to work as designed (based on what I can see in the source files).

This is the Hydran campaign, which consists of 11 missions. It was available for download and in the SFC1 Gold edition (along with a Gorn campaign).

I started the campaign last night and am up to mission 4. The critical mission is mission 6a (two parter) and I should get there tonight. I suspect I still have some work to do as the victory condition/mission passed code lookes FUBAR to me so I am not sure it will let me move on to mission 6b.

I installed SFC-Gold and the 1.021-1.03 patch listed above. The install didn't give me an option to change the install directory. How do I fix the registry keys manually?

What registry Keys?Please be specific Pestalence check in but not on a regular basis.He is busy with some other Projects at the moment as well not to mention RL.I not sure about registry key as mine doesn't have them if it is like cd key.

I have no idea. Pestalence mentioned above to change the install directory from C\Program Files\14 East\Starfleet Command - Gold to C\Program Files\14 East\Starfleet Command or the registry keys would be messed up. There was no option to do so on the install of my edition of SFC (1.021). I'm getting lag on weapons fire and such and I'd like to fix it.

Please reread no.4 agian and this is if you have the Gold edition. I hope this helps.When his sigs are up it means that he will be in here more frequently but for now he is not.Please save the instructions or print them out.

I did read it, my disc gave me no option to change the default install directory. On the other hand, I think I have a non-gold copy around here somewhere. If I can find it, I'll install that instead.

This sounds as if your Windows XP is corrupt in some way.. you may either need to do a XP repair if you have a store bought copy of the Operating system or you may need to reinstall windows XP all together or you may need to DL and install the full network install of Windows XP Service pack 2 (266 MB) to correct this error.. and make sure you have all the windows updates after the pack is installed.

Other than that I can not for the life of me think what would be the problem unless you are having a IRQ or driver conflict within your system... anyhow.. we can cover that later.

When installing, the CD will state in a text box "C:\Program Files\14 East\Starfleet Command - Gold Edition" for the install path.. Just click in this text box and erase "- Gold Edition"... that is all that is needed to be done.

My version of Xp PRO is up to date will all patches to include now SP2. I wouldnt think its corrupt being I get the same error on all 3 systems I have running at the moment. Even with SP2 installed I get the same answer. I read somewhere something about most people cant get it to work on XP because it was a Win 98 game or something and its looking for a file from that OS. Cant remember where I read that though. It sucks though I have this and cant play it.

I believe most are running like my self XP home edition you may want to stick it in compatility mode 98/2000.You need to go to your SFC1 icon in your 14 degrees east folder and open it.Then you need to look for the SFC1 icon and right click and look for compatility mode stick Win98/2000 and click ok then close.Then you are ready to go.I hope this helps if not then possibly you didn't follow all the instructions yuo may want to repeat it.
