more help needed !

[Scud]

One more thing, the bte is in the same directory as the game, right? As I recall, it won't work if it isn't, but I don't know what kind of error you'd get. I could also be wrong about that.

Also, just found this: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp...e&#1835518

which is making me believe more and more that your install/patching is suspect. Might want to completely uninstall the game and start over. No fun, I know, but it's sometimes easier than going through all the troubleshooting.
