Just to add what Phoenix wrote. If your going to try it on a comp at work (or anywhere), plug in your USB drive and see what drive letter it assigns to the device, then at home make sure that the same drive letter is used when you connect to the USB drive. Depending on OS you should be able to set something like "Always use *drive letter* for this device".
The only reason I bring this up, many comps have different HDs/partitions that mess up drive letter assignments. Ohh, and I wouldnt just use the drive letter Z: since that is usually assigned for network paths to home folders in MSFT type networks (not allways, but it is what I have seen).
Oh, and I have seen some great prices on USB pin drives at Tiger Direct, I paid $45 (us) for 128 meg somewhere else, and you can get 256 meg for about that same price. Just amazaing that something the size of your thumb can hold so much data and no moving parts.

the patch? cause the patch doesn't check the net at all, just searchs the hard drive for the game files... and the drive letter will not matter at all... |

Re: (OT sort of) Question
I used to have two pc's networked together and SE4 loaded on one. I could run se4 from a the other pc usign a shortcut and a mapped drive. I think if it works for taht it should work for USB. Although I don't know that much about USB.

Re: (OT sort of) Question
You don't need to have a reg file, but you may want one.
The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Malfador Machinations\Space Empires IV stores your locate settings, such as the 'File, Options' settings.
Same Reg location for both Version of SE IV.

No the game it's self looks for it, I had the problem of trying to run it before I had all my computer set up before andv was told that it looks for it.
