OK, I downloaded all the content packs, the 3DO music and voice packs, and installed them with the installer. All I get is an error about "Can't find Netplay 0.5.4" and it shuts down.
Do I HAVE to have an internet connection to get to play the UQM version of PC Star Control 2???
I'm trying to play it on my laptop that doesn't have any wireless access...
EDIT: nevermind, I found the answer here:
http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=4273.0
EDIT EDIT: AAARGH! Even with the Content Pack it still just goes to a black screen then crashes to the desktop...WTF??? I want so bad to play this but I'm not a dang MCSE and I can't program my way out of a bleeping paper bag. So does ANYONE have a simple, easy to follow install tutorial I could follow? I'd be FOREVER grateful...
EDIT EDIT EDIT: PLEASE? can ANYONE either point me to a tutorial or write a short one up? I'm going through SC2 withrawal...
OKAY. I'm searching all teh posts about "Installer, trouble, problems" and I'm compiling a hopefully helpful article for newbies like myself. Once I get everything together in a semi-logical form I'll post it here, and maybe get it stickied or something.

OK, here's what I did and now it works great: (except for the battle sound when you first encounter an enemy, I seem to have los tit somewhere but don't really care as it doesn't change the game at all)
1. Download the UQM installer, the UQM contents file, the UQM sound file and the UQM voice file
(I just made a SC2 folder on my desktop to keep them in)
2. Run the installer, I just used the default location [(c:\The Ur-Quan Masters\) I think it was]
3. Find the voice, sound and content files you downloaded, and rename the extensions from .zip to .uqm (Windows won't like this and will ask you if you want to change the extension. Choose "yes")
4. Put the sound, contents and voice files into the install folder (I also copied them into the contents folder inside the install folder just in case.)
5. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT use the OpenAL sound option (I think it was the far right of the three sound driver options)!!! it will crash UQM and you will have to uninstall and re-install!!!
so anyway that's what I found worked for me. I hope it helps someone else save a few hours of beating your head on a brick wall =)
