Replay option doesn't work

I just bought WIA and installed it, patched it to 1.10e and applied the Quick Fix 2 from two weeks ago.
I played the 1636 Pequot scenario OK, but the Replay function doesn't do anything: when I press the Replay button in-game nothing happens at all, and when I press it on the main menu I only see an empty yellow field that shows nothing.
In the save game directories I see 2 .trn files and 1 .hst file.
In the Options menu I don't see an option to enable replay, like in AJE.
Is the replay option dependent on some media player that is not installed on my computer? (XP)
It is not game-breaking, but the turn processing goes so fast, that sometimes I wanted to see where an enemy unit was coming from.

Try this:
Use explorer to navigate to \WIA\Settings
Open System.opt using Notepad or other simple text editor
add to the file:
// Replay
inoReplay = 1
Save, exit and restart WIA. See if your next turn generates a replay file that works.....

That worked.
Thank you.

Unfortunately under win 8.1 , after I added the code, access was denied for me to save it even though I am the administrator.

Hmm. How did you try admin mode?
Try admin mode first, then adding code?
Windows 8 anything is a mess, but this occasionally works for me.

I have a desktop feature in 8.1, but what exactly is "admin mode"?
I am the computer's administrator, but when I went into the System game file thru the desktop into the HD, I couldn't save it!

Windows 8 is not like earlier versions. You must insist you are the admin even if you already are. So when you open the game select run as admin.

I must be missing something obvious, but why am I
running the game when I'm supposed to get into the system file? I can easily do that from the desktop, but ...

All I can do is repeat. In the new Windows game functions do not work unless you run as an administrator.
