I installed the SMAC 3.0 upgrade on my desktop system and now the game fails after I do all the configs and attempt to start play. Failure message follows at the end of this post.
I am using an AMD K6-233 machine (offbrand) with 64 Mb ram and basic sound and video cards...no acceleration etc. I am running Win95 and I have been successfully running SMAC since its release. I just installed the SMAC 3 upgrade and it throws this sound.dll error. I want my SMAC back! ;-(

Your soundcard is being misdetected as EAX compatible. Set the DS3D and EAX entries in the alpha centauri.ini file to 0.

Thanks...that worked. Appreciate the quick response. BTW, is there a command keyset to minimize SMAC? CTRL-ESC sends it to the background, but does not minimize.
Back to game play.

Unfortunately you can't minimize the game.
