What is your operating system?
I am using windows 7.
Try this.
1) Put Antietam disk in pc.
2) Click start button on task bar click on computer option
3) Right mouse click on cd or dvd drive where the game is and select option open in new window.
4) Minimise window so you can see your desk top in background.
5) You will see a folder called Campaign Antietam while over the folder hold right mouse click button down and drag folder to your desk top you will be asked do you want a copy there click yes.
Now you have the game on your pc.
You now must update the game with the latest patch from the hps website.
When you have the patch downloaded select browse and find antietam folder on the desktop open folder and click ok. this will load the patch. Try out game if it works you have loaded the patch in the right place if it does not work then you have put it in the wrong place.
Then follow Dukematts instructions.
First…….save the Banshee down load to your desktop.

Second….open the downloaded folder “Antietam Graphics package”

Third……manually drag and drop the oob files from the “Antietam Graphics package”into the main game folder

Fourth……open the “info” folder in the “Antietam Graphics Package”

Drag “ leaders bmp” and “units bmp” (one at a time) from the "info" folder in the "Antietam Graphics Package" into the “info” folder in the game.

its that simple............thats how I did it and it works.

don't use the extract command.

Let me know how you get on.


I'll give it a try and get back with you here in a couple days.

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it!

After taking a break from working on this problem for a while and a nice vacation to the Caribbean I decided to give this a shot again.

I'm happy to report I was able to successfully install the Old Banshees graphics package to my games and they're all working fine!

Thanks to everyone who helped and Gen Frank Mullins in particular.

The assistance is very much appreciated.

We won an all expenses payed 7 day cruise on Royal Caribbeans ship Allure of the Seas (the largest cruise ship in the world) to Nassau, St Thomas, and St Maarten courtesy of the Kansas state lottery. Included deluxe balcony ocean view cabin, spending money, 1st class airfare, limo to and from airport.

The ship was beautiful, tons of stuff to do on board, crew was fantastic and service was excellent.

It was great!
