I'm beginning to crave the SE IV music...

I wish I could hear sound. I completely lost all music around Version 1.27 or so for some reason, and I have no idea how to get it back short of a complete re-install of the base game, then applying the patches.

With all the cool stuff, including a Map Editor, coming in the next patch, you should have enough reasons to wipe our your SEIV install and install from scratch plus the patches.

Why are you guys saying "patches", plural?

The patches have all been differential, rather than incremental. That is to say, you can simply install from the CD, then apply the latest patch...

To give an example of an incrementally patched game, Q3F (Quake 3 Fortress) was until very recently like that. You had to install Q3A, then the Q3F Beta 1, then beta 1a, beta 1b, beta 1c, etc, all the way through the current beta 1h Version. Now that was a pain! Thank goodness the Q3F team finally got smart and created a differential patch, that could be applied to the original retail Version of Q3A.
