OK now I got a fresh download and install.
I try to extract the unofficial patch and I get an error window that says (and lists) 104 files could not be written:

THe choices at bottom of window are : "close" "Break Operation" and "copy to clipboard" none of which help to install patch.

and this was on a totally fresh install... i can't take it anymore. I had this working and got to santa maria and killed Mangoosta b4 there was any problem with the "leave sector" This is really really frustrating and I dont know if it will play again. BTW I am using vista (i wish it was win 7)
