Re: HELP, patch 7 will not work on my Computer!!
Deathstalker, I am getting exactly the same errors, Access Violation in SE4.EXE, then the EsockError. My machine was just fine with 1.41, never crashed, try to go to 1.49, no way!
I too have tried complete uninstall/reinstall procedures, patch straight to 1.49, or go through 1.41, THEN patch to 1.49, and no still no joy. I can get it to go to 1.41, and its all fine, go to 1.49, and it freezes. One interesting point of commonality, I run a Win95 machine, too.
I am wondering:
1) What OSs do MM test patches for? (ie is Win95 included)
2) Any other Win95 Users out there who can confirm or deny a problem with 95?
3) Will switching to Win98 fix it?

Re: HELP, patch 7 will not work on my Computer!!
Have you guys tried redownloading the patch. I heared a very few people had problems with the first download file (I didn't, but heard some did) and malfador uploaded a fresh copy way back on day one. I don't think it got a lot of press because not very many people had the problem. Anyway, it's worth a shot, even if your copy of the patch works on the other pc. Try uninstalling, and reinstalling se4 and then patch with a fresh download of patch 7. If that doesn't work, I suggest emailing malfador.

Re: HELP, patch 7 will not work on my Computer!!
I have SE IV + patch 7 working perfectly on my Win95 machine, but I had to do a clean reinstall to get it working. I think my older installs were partially corrupted; the patch claimed that the first install that I tried it on wasn't a valid Version, and the second install accepted the patch but crashed during game setup while trying to load a race portrait on the Add New Empire page.

Re: HELP, patch 7 will not work on my Computer!!
I had the same error capnq did, but on a Win2K machine. Had to do a clean install of SE4 & patched directly to Version 1.49. I started a game just fine, but I haven't even finished turn 1 yet, so I don't know if there are problems lurking.

Re: HELP, patch 7 will not work on my Computer!!
FIXED!!!
Thank you MM for the e-mail and the solution. I downloaded the patch again directly from the MM site, erased (totally) the se4 files, re-installed and then re-patched with the new download. Works like a charm. Was probally the earlier download of the patch that did it. Now off to update those AI's.
