How to get Space Empires to run

First starting up the game results in an error screen (most likely something containing: 00000001), quickly after that the game becomes unresponsive. The original game came with a CD, but since this is a downloaded version there is no CD. It seems the game tries to find the CD and crashes because it can't. To solve this go to your game directory under program files on your c:drive (select bottle, go to the pulldown menu under bottle and choose open c:drive). Select the map Data and find the file settings.txt. Open it (with a text editor) and change allow music from TRUE to FALSE. This should solve it; the in-game sounds remain accessible thru the in-game options menu.

I like to thank VLNR whose tip regarding this issue I found on the GOG forum.
