When i run the UK patch, choose Terran.exe, i get an error message:
"Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match."
What should i do?

Hi Xuenay,
That usually means you don't have the original TERRAN.EXE in your file (for instance, some people downloaded the USA version of TERRAN.EXE so they could use that patch instead).
Most likely if you re-install Alpha Centauri from the CD, you'll then be able to apply the patch.
Other possibility is that you don't actually have the UK version of the game... could you have the US version and need the US patch?

It doesnt work. I downloaded the both patches, and copied the Terran.exe file from the CD, but I still get the same message! Is there anything else i can do?
