Title is self-explanatory. I am running Windows 8 on a laptop if that is any help. I tried Kyrub's patch for SMAC and it didn't do anything. I have attempted to run as administrator, then with compatibility mode to Win XP, then Win 7 and nothing so far has worked.

Thank-you for your time.

I am running W8.1 and no problems.
One thing, did it ever run?
If not do you have directx9.0c installed?
Don't get fooled by having a directx10 installed, the 9 version is NOT included in the higher version

Try reinstalling the game without any patches & run 'terranx' as an admin in compatibility mode for windows 98 and also check the 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' box.

This works for me on windows 7.
