I believe working folder refers to the folder (directory) where the executable resides. Sounds like your running Rene via a shortcut. Find your Game.exe file and make a new shortcut on the desktop -- if this is not the case please let us know !

IMO the *easiest* fix would be to :
A)Uninstal Renegade
B)Defrag your hard drive (may take some time if u use Win98/WinME)
C)Reboot
D)Install Renegade
E)Defrag your hard drive

Sorry to bring back this old topic, and sorry for not reading over other people's posts about this same topic.

I was having the same problem HunG was having, except my Game.exe did the same thing, which was:

Invalid Working Folder
Set Working Folder and Try Again..

Help?

The working folder error is when you remove Game.exe and or Renegade.exe from the Renegade folder or have a shortcut telling it to run in C:\ or something. Best way around it is to install Renegade and run the Renegade.exe from the actual directory and see if it loads okay.
