Just got a new comp with Win 7. Installed SP1, then followed kiwitt's instructions in this thread to install & patch Civ4 and BTS. Then I installed Blue Marble, then BUG (as main mod). Games still start OK, BUG looks OK. Then I installed Unofficial Patch 3.19, first as optional mod, then I saw that the BUG instructions say if you're going to use UOP 3.19, copy its files over the original BTS Assets. Just did that. A game started OK.
But I really want to finish a game I started a long time ago on my old (Win XP) comp, and when I try to load it it says it needs to load UOP 3.19 from the path that it was in on my old computer (on C drive, at the time). My old hard drive is in my new computer, but as drive E: ...the C drive is a new drive. The path it wants starts with "Documents and Settings" and I didn't see any folder by that name on my new (Win7) drive so I thought I'd create one (and the subfolders it includes in the path) and put a copy of the UOP files there just to get the savegame to load so I can finish the game. But when I went to name a new folder "Documents and Settings", Win7 claims there is already a folder by that name on the C drive, and asks if I want to merge them. Well, there isn't such a folder on that drive, as far as I can see, even when hidden items are made visible. Anyone else have this experience, and/or any suggestions what to do?
One other thing that may be relevant: since we wanted my files on the old drive to be readily accessible...my A+ certified friend did make it so that clicking Documents brings up a window with both "My Documents" on C Drive (the new drive) and "My Documents" on the E Drive (the old drive). Perhaps this could be confusing Win7 about which drive has a "Documents and Settings" folder? Doesn't seem likely to me, but thought I'd mention it.
Thanks in advance.
