Hmmmm, well, I just can't get it to run in Windowed mode. Any ideas? I have 64bit 7, Home Premium

I have a Dell Studio 1558 (i5-520m, 4gb 1333mhz ram, Ati Radeon HD 4570, 500gb 7200 rpm hdd, backlit keyboard, 9 cell battery-good battery life and cooling, and more) that costs around $1300, if you can get an EPP, like me, you should be able to get it for $900, and I can play games like FSX and Burnout Paradise fluently.

Backups are discussed CONSTANTLY.. if you do not maintain more or less regular backups of your SC4 work, it is no one's fault but your own and you certainly can't say you didn't know about backups. A sticky is not required about such routine (and I might add, non-SC4 related) issues. If you had no backup I seriously doubt you would have backed up after reading a sticky. Now, would you? And this problem is only one of many reasons you might have lost your work.. backups are the routine refuge of the prepared.quote> Well said, again. Also, SC4 is a program that is MEANT to run alone, and not with or side by side with another one. NO MATTER HOW MANY CORES YOU HAVE. SC4 was published in 2003, and it was designed for use without other programs (unless they have a direct connection with it). Please take this into consideration too.

Originally posted by: SC4BOY If you lost the original "My Doc's" folder when you lost the C: drive, then you cannot recover your old stuff in all likelihood. All of your cities and regions, etc along with most of your custom content would have been in there. If on the other hand, you happened to have copied it to the F: drive before C: failed then you can recover it by copying it to your "new" "My Doc's" folder after you re-install and correct whatever system problems you are having. In either case you certainly can install and run SC4 with no problems. It's really two separate issues. quote> Well said, and SC4 can run, its just wheither or not you'll have your plugins and regions. Sirron Kcuhc, it seems like you have a CJ. If you lost your My Documents folder, they you most likely lost the region/CJ. Hopefully this didn't happen. 250th Post!

I also do not believe everything and assume what comes out of a politicians mouth to be the truth. -DOY quote> Well, if the goverment did it, or the navy, it would take taxs payers money, and bp would have to reimburse everyone, as well as that this is BP's fault, and they should fix it them selves, not call on a navy and use them. Yeah everyone is comparing this to Katrina, and Katrina was caused by Mother Nature, not BP. The government shouldn't need to step in, BP should be going out of their way to fix this, but because they are not that responsible, and also careless in the making of this well, they should take full of responsibility and give the money everyone who is effected by this. BP can pay until they go bankrupt, but they can't pay to fix all the issues with small companies that were DESTROYED in this spill. We should just wait sometime (maybe a few thousand years) and then start at making a souther fishing economy.

Ok, I have do the same exact thing as you did reagarding the install of the main files on a drive that is other than c, such as f. You need to install all your plugins into the My Documents Sim City 4 folder. Regarding if SC4 will run without My Documents, it won't because you won't have regions. That is where your regions are saved as well.
