Issues fixed

Can't view cutscenes

The game corrupts its own config file every time is it run. Run GMCONFIG.exe from the game's folder every time you run the game.
Modern Windows versions will need to run in Windows XP compatibility mode to view in-game cutscenes.

Game crashes due to music

The last nine music tracks on the CD are corrupt. These are Sky02.vms, Sky03.vms, Tower.vms, Val05.vms, Valmer01.vms, Valmer02.vms, Valmer06.vms, Wk01.vms and Wk02.vms. Delete these files from your VMS folder, then copy and rename other music files to replace them.

Millenia never casts Zap

Talking to the tutorial guy permanently changes the AI

Load a save before you talk to the tutorial guy, or start a new game. Then, don't talk to any tutorial givers at any point.
