Author Topic:   How do I reset a pop-up?

I've been playing SMAC since right after it was released (solo games), and about a week ago I OOPPS! I have the pop-up appear every time a base completes anything. Well I accidentally hit "Don't show as a po-up"! Now I don't get the pop-up screen when a base completes a unit. I realize the new unit will come up looking for orders, but after playing so long with a set style, often I'm distracted enough to miss changing the build order. Often I don't queue orders to make it easier to react to events. I've been though every preference menu (I hope!), how do I reset the pop-up?
Thanks for ANY help.

I just started playing yesterday and the only and best thing I can recommend is copy your saved games to somewhere else and reinstall if you cannot find an option to bring the game back to its default settings. Look for the menu button near the bottom left, make sure you are using the advanced menues and there should be an option in there to do this, I would imagine. It's like ragu, it's in there. If all else fails just reinstall off of the cd-rom. I like how smoothely the install works.

Well, if you want to reset the game to the default settings, jsut delete the alpha centauri.ini file and start a new game. If you're talking about a warning popup, there is a warning preferences menu available from the main menu.
