Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
There error occures with "moving" the file - what means that it (most likely) already has been extracted from the rar archive to your temp folder, but cannot copied over to the SE4 folder for some reason.
Maybe there's a file with the same name already which cannot be overwritten because it's either write-protected or in use?

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
Do you use Google Desktop? I had some problems with it while installing new programs, so i normally stop it every time i need to install somethin new...
BTW: Google Desktop can cause errors in SEIV turn processing, so if you want to play SEIV, stop Google Desktop whilçe playing...

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
Uninstalling Google Desktop is probably the best option... such an annoying, useless program.

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
Unfortunatelly GooGle Desktop became essential in y work, as i have over a gigabyte of doc and xls files that came from around 15 years of activity in law (i´m a lawyer) and freqüently need to find among these files old petitions and worksheets, as the files don´t have any kind of rational organization i can only find what i want with Google Desktop, as the defauld windows search takes too long to check all the files for the strings i need found...

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
After doing a Windows XP reinstall I'm trying to download planet packs and other image mod packs from Spaceempires.net. Most of the files show "page not found" when I try to download them.
Is Spaceempires.net still operating?
Where else can image mod packs be obtained?
I thought I had copied all that stuff to CD, but I can't find it.

Yes, that worked. Thank you!
This game is so incredibly addictive. Last night after re-loading stock SEIV I loaded the TDM mod and began a test game as the Rage. In just a few turns I was hooked. I had forgotten just how beautiful those Rage ships are.
