komemiute Hell Drummer Senior Member Registered: 05/03/09 Posts: 2690	Simply put I can't believe the new BSM until I see it. Problem is my old Falcon 4.0 Original MICROPROSE disk wouldn't install on Win 7. How to do? I tried compatibility mode on a copule version but I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong. Any help from you "guys who did it"? Thanks in advance! K'mute _________________________ "Himmiherrgottksakramentzefixhallelujah!"

BMS will look for it and automatically install. _________________________ "Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together." -Dwight D Eisenhower

Charlie_SB Member Registered: 10/16/05 Posts: 354	I just spent half a day turning over every rock in the neighbourhood trying to find my F4 disc. After one hour in the attic I found the original Falcon 4 box (Falcon 3 as well) and the manual but no disc. Found the F4 allied force disc but that doesn't do the trick. So depressing ... -C- _________________________ Thermaltake Level 10GT Intel i7 2600K @4,3Ghz 2 X ASUS Radeon 6950 (6970 BIOS) 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz Corsair 120GB Force Series SSD Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB ASUS P8Z68-V PRO GEN3 Corsair H70 Hydro CPU Cooler

So depressing ... -C- Yeah, I had the same problem. I found the original manual, but no disc. I went to Amazon and people had them listed there used for around US$5.00. I ordered one and asked for express shipping, with a total cost of just under US$12.00, so that might be worth checking out for those desperate to get this going. Those are used, so I don't know what the availability is outside the U.S. _________________________ Ken Cartwright No single drop of rain feels it is responsible for the flood. http://www.techflyer.net

FLA Member Registered: 10/21/02 Posts: 486 Loc: Minnesota USA	I had 2 Falcon4 binders, which I threw away about 5 years ago. I had a backup ISO on my data backup drive as of 1 week ago but deleted it after playing FreeFalcon5.5.5 and giving up hope with Falcon4 (FF5.5.5 crashed or had graphics issue within 3 minutes of playing it.... Like always...) Now a week later BMS is out which requires the original install. Just my luck. Oh well. I'll keep an eye out on the BMS news to see if its worth "aquiring."
