Hi

Don´t mate. I´m only guessing here. Should be the same as in 2000. Right click on a shortcut to ttdpatchw.exe. Go to compatibility. Make it start in Windows 95 mode. Then make sure in TTD Config iits setup right to be full screen. If the compatibility tab isn´t there you will have to try this: (Its for windows 2000 so i´m not certain if it will work or not. You´ll have to try)

Windows NT 4.0? Thats NEARLY the same as Windows 2000. Sometimes, Windows 2000 and XP are identyfied differently.

Sometimes:

Windows 2000 = Windows 5.0 / Windows NT 5.0
Windows XP = Windows 5.1 / Windows NT 5.1 / Windows 2000

It must be that windows nt 4 doesn´t have the file in service pack 6a. You could try taking the file from a pc with 2000 service pack 2. Although I don´t think that will work.

In the euphoria of getting TTD to run in win2000 (HURRAY-been a long wait, have i missed my train set ), it seems i forgot to say that my os is windows 2000 AND is regularly kept upto date, the latest detonator drivers wont intstall or the creative versions. Dont know why will try again later today. The game seems to try to open full screen then opens in a window with the TTD title page fading into view.


TTD otherwise known as- Choo-Chooos.
