Error: "1033" is a bs language which was defined in some environment variable. You can choose from English, Spanish, etc with lang=english and such.

This is a fun thing that XP (at least) does...they changed an environment variable from the "english" version of a langauge name to a numeric code (universal standards...blahblahblah...)

What you need to do is use Windows to reset that language variable (which may make other apps not work right) or setup a bat file to launch the game. In the transport tycoon folder, create a new text file named "ttd.bat". Make sure it renames, you should get a cutesy little "application" type icon representing a batch file instead of a notepad icon.

In this file add the following lines:

SET LANG=English
"Transport Tycoon Deluxe".exe

Then launch that file (or create a shortcut to it).
