I am trying to install BG Chickamauga and everything worked but when I try and open a scenario I get a message, "Not supported by windows NT" Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it.

HOW DID YOU INSTALL IT? And what did you mean by 'everything worked'? [;)]

I put the CD in the drive and the start up program ran. The game and all the files are on my computer. I can open the start screen where you select a scenario but when you click to open a selected scenario the message, "Sorry, not supported by Windows NT" comes up.

Did you install the patch for BGC to work with XP and 2000? I believe they are based on NT so I would guess the patch would work for it too. You can find a link to the patch on the Link Express at http://members.tripod.com/garyned/

Are you using Vista or XP? BG games don't work in Vista. If you're using XP, the patch http://www.hc-llc.net/games/patches/bgc.zip <i>will</i> work. Make sure you're not mistaking the Gateway patch for this. That is intended for an issue only with Gateway computers. This file is listed on the second line of the patches page, not in the table. It replaces the game executable.
