What version of SF:P1 do you have? Or is it WoV? The first "official" release of SF:P1 needs P1 (the unofficial Walmart release is unpatchable). Subsequent releases (Valuesoft, Strike Fighters Gold) have different patch requirements.

 

Try to start the game, and get the version number. You'll find it on the lower right hand coner of the mainscreen, it may say something like "v12.xx.xx". That will help us determine which patches you need to apply.

It's beginning to sound as if you've gotten stuck with the unpatchable "WallyWorld" edition. Here's a post by Geo from SimHQ that may help you make that determination:

 

"Look at the CD and see if it has the number 24147CD printed on the left side of the lable under the compact disc data storage logo. If it has this number then you probably have the original WalMart release. The number on the full release verion is 24147CD1."

The other give-away for the Walmart edition is the Readme saying that it's a Press beta.
