Please help! I installed ZGI on my Vista system using install guide from this board. The game opens and I get the propaganda segment, but when I get the to actual game, the message "general read/write error. Press Enter to exit program" appears.
Thanks for any help!,

Re: ZGI read/write error
You said you followed the guide, are you running the game off the hdd or off the discs? It sounds like theres a problem reading from the discs while its trying to load a file, double check that you followed the how-to exactly and repost if that solves the problem.

Re: ZGI read/write error
Ithanks for your reply. I'm running the game from my hard disk. All I've been able to think of is that possibly my old disks are corrupted. Does this sound right?
Re: ZGI read/write error
If the files copied from the discs and there was no error then it should be fine, I doubt the discs just up and decided to get corrupted. 
Id recommend you follow my howto and try it again, to make certain you did not miss a step. Please let me know if you come across an error during that process, because who knows maybe the discs did get corrupted. You may also want to check to make sure the files are not set for use by the 'administrator' and 'everyone' is in the list as well as your login name.
