Sorry, you're going to have to provide some more details.
What floppy disk? How did you try to start the game? What game?
Incidentally, I don't seem to have any static.tim files here.

You'll probably need to install U7 on your harddisk first. Try something named 'install' or 'setup'

Since when does Ultima 7 fit on a floppy disk?

Ultima VII came on 6 floppy disks, actually - but it couldn't be played unless decompressed and installed to a hard drive.

I did it. You don't have my special static file.
You can have it for $500.

1 floppy -and- 1 disk?

Oh, wait, an AOL user. No wonder he's not making any damned sense.
I should have seen that beforehand.

Yeah.. AOL is.. strange.
I was Assoc Sysop in a CompuServe forum till it was officially closed down last friday.. you can still access it.
After a report has AOL fired those few people who know how to close a Forum..

The rumor that AOL users are not computer savvy is grossly exaggerated, lol. Man, if there was such a thing as internet bigotry, AOL users would be at the bottom, hehe. Now, I'm no programmer or anything, but I sure as hell know my way around a computer quite well. So quit knockin' everyone, hehe.
Unless for some strange reason, I'm the exception to every AOL 'story'.

Oh yeah, forgot to say, don't get me wrong, I don't know what the hell 'Helpme' is talking about, and a number of my fellow AOLers are proven dumbasses, lol. But I think that proves true with any internet service. There are just so many people on AOL, that the stupidity number tends to shine more. hehe

Ok... you drive a hard bargain... how about $397?
A little SI haggling.
