Hi! I love playing Alpha Centauri, and all the Civ games, and I've had Alpha Centauri since 1999. I also got Alien Corssfire in 1999. THat's where the problem begins.
The first copy I got didn't work, so I replaced it. There was a problem with the replacement too, but it finally got installed. My computer then got a virus, so I didn't get to install it again for a year. Then there was something wrong with the screen, but eventually it was fixed. I played it a little, then there was a problem, and it dodn't work, and I never even got too far in my first game! I eventually drifted my attention away from Alien Crossfire when I got other computer games.
I tried to install it again about a year ago. I installed Alpha Centauri first, and that was fine, there was no problem.
But after I had installed Alien Crossfire I got a sign after trying to play it that said "CPU not supported. If you continue the game may fail." I pressed continue, I pressed cancel, but whatever I pressed it would automatically shut down. If I uninstalled it, and installed Alpha Centauri again it would work, but then if I installed Alien Corssfire it wouldn't play, same thing. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and then just gave up.
Now I've started playing Alpha Centauri again for the last few weeks, but I can't stop thinking about Alien Crossfire. I've been trying to play the game for FIVE YEARS and I've nevber got to!
Yesterday I came across Firaxis help center, and it stated my problem, and it said go to the folder and change this thing that =0 to =1. I forget what it said exactly, but I know how to get back to the site, it's in my favorites.
But HOW exactly do I do this? I'm not a computer genius or anything. Do I install Alien Crossfire again first, or do I change it with just ALpha Centauri installed? Can someone talk me through it? I just REALLY want to play the game, I've been trying to since my birthday OVER FIVE YEARS AGO!! Can someone PLEASE help me?

(I'm also curious, did they ever come up with another sequel or expansion pack or something similar? Just curious!)
