Satan has posessed your computer. You have to delete all your porn and then ask a priest to perform an exorcism.
... No, not really. But how the hell am I (or anyone else) supposed to figure out what's going wrong when your description does not tell us anything whatsoever? We're not psychic detectives here. Please tell us: 1. Which version of Windows you're using 2. How (in exact steps) did you attempt to run the game. 3. What exactly happened when you did what you did. Any error messages MUST be posted verbatim - ie precisely as they appear on your PC.

Runin Colonization
I am on a XP plateform. I unziped all 7 zipped files and placed all files in a folder and ran the colonization .exe file. the file said unable to locate wing.dll file and another warning of can't locate colonization.exe file.
That's about it. |

OK, that explains a few things. The WinG API was a very old thing... sort of a precursor to DirectX, actually. Microsoft dropped official support for it since Windows 98SE, but you can install it separately.
Go here: http://community.the-underdogs.info/pub/tools/other/ Download "wing-setup". Unpack it, run MSSetup.exe... and that's it. You're ready to run any games that use WinG on your XP machine no problem. |

Actually, Red Alert is free to copy as RA3 is coming, so we can only hope, SM follows this example.

I found three fountain of youths in one of my games! Best thing ever.. dont know if it was a glitch or a bug, but I had around 30 units waiting for me at the docks! Has this happened to anyone else?

It's not a bug, fountais of youth aren't unique, there are quite a bunch in every game. Yes it happened to me many times.

Yes i know, I have it on mjy pc.
The one cool thing about Freecol is that theres so man new nations But having the original would be nice. Only prob wit freeCol are; I wish it used more graphics like colonization, and that you could have hotseat games... (or CAN you...?) |
