After the Firaxis-splashscreen I get the following message:
TERRAN caused an error in relation to an invalid page in
module KERNEL32.DLL op0137:bff857e7.
Registers:
EAX=c00173a4 CS=0137 EIP=bff857e7 EFLGS=00010206
EBX=00c4f44c SS=013f ESP=00b4fff0 EBP=00b50060

Bytes in CS:EIP:

Stack-dump:
I've tried all the usual (reduce colour to 256, directdraw=0, virusscan, re-install W95 and directx6.1)but nothing works. Demo v1.1 works fine.
Could someone enlighten me, what I need to do?
Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention my system:
Pentium 133
48 Mb Ram
Hercules Terminator 4Mb
1.2 Gb Harddrive with just W95, directx and SMAC on it...
And windows handles my swapfile

It's the movies. Try renaming the sound.dll to sound.dl_, do a typical install and play without the CD (if you can), and/or run DXDiag.exe and look for "!", any compatibility notes (besides no problems found), and run the tests.

I uninstalled SMAC, reinstalled it according to the 'custom' option (no video) and renamed the sound.dll to sound.dl_. Also reinstalled directx. (My version won't play without the CD.) Then not even the splash screen would show. (Sigh) Directx only had ! with drivers I didn't use at that moment.
I then downloaded the latest Hercules-drivers. Now the firaxis splashscreen showed followed by the error.
Uninstalled SMAC and tried the 'typical' option. It wouldn't install...
At 23% I got the following message:
"An error occurred during the move data process: -115"
I examined the CD but it looks clean.
(I have an A-open 32x CD-ROM)
I've got the feeling there aren't much options left.

IT WORKS !!!
Formatted my harddisk. Reinstalled SMAC ('typical') etc. and it works! Still don't know why it didn't work the previous time when I formatted my drive. I allmost gave up. I also want to thank Jeffrey Morris for his fast reply.
Let the good times roll...
