Help just got a replacement copy of a game that I last played over 10 years ago.My thanks to my wife for an unexpected wedding aniversary present.
Whem in combat mode game has a tendancy to crash.
I play on an ancient Toshiba Equium A100-147.
System is Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 3

Rest of gobbly gook is
Genuine Intel(R)CPU
T2050@1.60GHz
1.60GHz. 1.99GB of RAM

What sort of computer is best and though I love the basic game(is that what Vanilla meams???)what basic mods should I go for.
After all these years please may I acknowlege the passion and dedication shown by all on this forum

If she got you the original CD "frame it" before it explodes in cd rom (many user have reported this really happening)

but I suggest using the multi installer. This is full version of original game and allows installation of mods. Plus has all patches pre-installed.

What sort of computer is best

over the years patches and fixes have allowed game play on all modern windows operating systems. So it is playable on any version (with help)

is that what Vanilla meams???

the term vanilla stands for the original/unedited version 1.0.2

what basic mods should I go for.

basic mod? that would be "Balance of Power" by Gowron

I cannot thankyou all enough.This game was pre xbox and though l now play Destiny on xbox 1 I have been playing botf in preference.
My copy is an original in manafacturers cd case and it would seem it might become damaged in the driver when playing.
How do I go about making a copy and which format should I go for???
I must confess to being ah hum mature and virtually computer illiterent.
I paid a computer geek £ 45 to install and get working the game.
He used a hack ,no idea what but would this affect making a copy?
My son now wants a copy , he reckons it looks briilliant and he's never watched a star trek episode
Again my thanks

using the multi installer no cd is needed.
