Patch Install Instructions
Use your favorite ZIP utility to extract the files within the patch to a temporary folder. Then, simply drag the AUTORUN.EXE provided in the patch into the folder in which you installed the game, and answer "Yes" to the prompt as to whether you wish to overwrite the file. After doing this, you may delete any files remaining in the temporary folder. NOTE: From this point forward you will need to run the game by selecting its entry in the Windows Start Menu, as attempting to run the game simply by inserting the CD into your CDROM drive and clicking Play on the menu that comes up will still generate the above error.
