My old system finally went and i got a new system with Windows 8.1, The game installed and starts but when i click on the Default Directory button the list of scenarios folders pops up but i can't make the folders expand and show the different scenarios, I tried the Compatibility Wizard using XP, Vista and 7, I also run the game using Admin rights but nothing works.

Screenshot would help... Also make sure you patched/updated it to 3.4.202. That information was missing, too.

They aren't supposed to expand. You just select a folder by clicking on one and selecting "OK". Then that folder's scenarios will be available to select in the Select New Game dialog.

I installed the patch again but this time i used "Run as Administrator" and it works now, Before that even with the patch installed nothing was coming up in the scenario areas (where the descriptions normally are), I've been playing this game since Windows 98 and i never knew you could take screenshots, How do you do it?
