Hi. Trying to install NAM 48 but every time I click on the patch and go to 'Run as Administrator', type in 'SimCity 4.exe' and press enter I get a pop up that says 'Couldn't open executable'. Can anyone help with that please? Thank you EDIT - Have resolved this.

Hey there. Bought SC4 on Steam, game works fine. Downloaded a bunch of mods, all fine. Then downloaded NAM 48 but cannot get the 4GB patch to work. When I click on a city the screen goes black for a few minutes then the game closes. I'm not computer literate so I've watched the rsc204 video on how to install the patch properly many times, did a search for 'SimCity 4.exe' like it says but couldn't get it to work. Since then, due to lack of memory, I moved the entire SC4 file to my (D:) drive. Is that ok? Once I did that whenever I do a search for SimCity 4.exe I get a pop-up saying 'Couldn't open executable!' I moved it all back to documents but still got the same msg. Now the file back in (D:) drive again. Whichever way I search for SimCity 4.exe I get a pop-up saying 'Couldn't open executable!' I've been at this for days now, have been trying to find some way to fix it but completely lost. If you can help, that'd be greatly appreciated. Show less Reply

Ok. Thank you.

Hi, I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1. I've tried to install SC4, which I haven't played in ages, but I keep getting this message halfway through Disk 2: "A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file 'E:\Ep1.dat' from the media." It then asks if I want to try again or cancel, but trying again does nothing. Any help on what to do would be appreciated, but bear in mind, tech talk sounds like gobbledygook to me, so keep it simple folks! Thank you.
