No. The trouble is that I can't install MOO2 on my new computer to begin with. Don't I have to have it installed before I can put a patch in?

Also, I don't have any clue what version I'm running & the link you provided says that v1.31 only works on the English version. . . I do have an old (e.g. 166 Mhz) laptop on which I can play MOO2, but I run the German version, because it allows for a complete install to the hard drive, so I don't have to play with the disk in the CD drive. Speeds up and quiets down play tremendously.

All the english versions I have allow you to copy the CD and run from it on the HD via the Orionini.

But no you so not need a valid install in order to patch it. If you have the whole CD on the HD. You can copy in the patch and then install. I have a CD with that directory (patch on it) and install from that at times.

So if you create a directory for Orion2 and copy the CD into and then from that directory DB clk the setup, it will not install?

Sorry to be so long getting back to you on this vmxa1, but no, creating a directory and copying the whole disk to the HD, then dbl-clicking the Install.exe or setup.exe. does not work. And I just discovered that I can't copy the autoexec.nt, anyway. Probably because it's a work computer (I wanted to get some games in on my lunch break). Probably just as well. I can still play at home, time permitting. Thanks to you and Siron for your help, anyway.

By the way, I did discover that I've got version 1.3.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

It may be that it needs to have some admin authority to write something into a restricted location.

I could not get it to run on NT at work as I think it did not support DIrect X, I forget now.
