Even if he was lying and it was pirated, he's not going to say so as that gets you banned on this forum (Pretty stupid reason for getting banned imo, but that's irrelevant.) Also, this is an ancient game, so it's probable that there are errors like this and I know for a fact that i used to get this error when I tried to run RCT on Vista a while back before getting my Windows 98 Virtual Machine set up. I would recommend running the game in the Windows 98 compatibility mode. I ran RCT on Windows XP for a very long time with very few problems before I got Vista with my new PC.
I have played this game on both XP *and* Vista with no issues after installing the latest patch.
Actually, two things i thought of. did you save your game, then install a patch, then try to load the map? I think i actually remember reading in the readme that you aren't supposed to load savegames that were done before a patch was applied due to changes. Another thing that came to my mind randomly this morning is that, the file extension the game uses for savegame files is .sc2, which is the same extension that the game SimCity 2000 used, make sure that the RCT save files are set to open with RCT (right click on that type of file, make sure ''opens with'' is set to Roller Coaster Tycoon.)
