I suspect that the working directory ("Start In:" folder) for your CT Icon,
or the CTPATH environment variable, is set to C: instead of C:\CTWIN or
similar.  Wherever you put CTY.DAT, set CTPATH to match, e.g.

set CTPATH=C:\CT
ctwin

You can also change the CTPATH environment variable permanently:

My Computer (right click), Properties, Advanced Tab, Environment Variables
Button, New, Variable name:  CTPATH, Variable value: C:\CT, OK, OK, restart
CT.

I just make sure the DAT file is in the same directory at the CT executable.
