7. Fragile allegiance (dos)
8. I'm having problems loading ingame animations for technology blueprints. There is first a picture appearing of the item when I click for the details for that item. It should start the animation from this picture in a few seconds, but the animation won't start (there is also a brief 3d model for these items rotating in the menu, I don't mean this "animation", it works perfectly). The cursor flashes quickly as hourglass when the animation should start, but nothing happens. It's not a full screen animation, but rather confined into a specific space on the screen. I have not encountered similar problems before with other games. I have a full version of the game and I have made all steps recommended for running the game on dosbox. The game works perfectly except this one problem.
9. Always (haven't seen it working)

11. I tried it in all video modes. Resolution was set to original but I also tested one other random resolution.
12. Both VDM sound and dosbox are latest versions
13. I have read the readme.txt, but couldn't see a specific solution for this problem. I have googled a lot but couldn't find anyone mentioning anything about this. I would be most grateful for any advice which could possibly solve this problem.

Problem solved. Immediately after this post I realized there were some files missing in my HD directory of the game, they were in a cd folder _SCITEC. Copying these files to HD solved the problem. Sorry for not checking this out before posting the question. Hopefully this will provide to be useful for some other person.
