[SuzyQ]

Hi, I hope one of the clever lads here can help me.

I am a stupid mother of a son who wants to play TTD.

We bought the game in the UK in 2001, but never had a PC big enough to play the game.
Now his dream came true and he has the PC, loaded the game (we have XP running) and now? Problems.
When he tries to play a message comes up saying "The system cannot open the com3 port requested by this application. Click on close to terminate."

A choice between "Close" and "Ignore" comes up.

Apon clicking "Ignore" the same message comes up, but now refers to com4.

Is the PC coo-coo or will it work if we download this patch I read about on this site? He doesn't have problems playing other games like Commando's and Stronghold etc.

Please mail me at susie [at] webmail.co.za. If there is somebody in SA we can phone for help it would be appreciated if a contact number can be sent to this address.

He is very disappointed that he cannot play this.

Thanx a mil.
