I just got Alpha Centauri yesterday. When I tried to install it, it keeps coming up with some error -113. What does this mean and what can I do about it??

It probably means you've got 16-bit dos drivers installed for your CD-Rom. You can verify this by right-clicking on the my computer icon, selecting properties, then performance. If it says something about compability mode, that is the case. Install 32-bit win95 drivers and you'll be fine (different for each system, so refer to the disks and docs that came yours). If worse comes to worse, just copy the contents of the \program folder into one on your HD (like c:\alpha) and run terran.exe.
