    Yeah. A way around it is by not being a dumbass, mr. Texan.

    Hmm, I haven't had that problem myself, so I don't know what the answer would be. Have you tried playing Col (not for windows) in DosBox? Might work better for you.

    i used to use dosbox use dosbox myself but just cant stand the delay, i recently aquired a laptop and tried to install colinization - to my suprise it installed and ran fine ive played 3-4 times and took oever evrything and declaed independence and it all ran fine,

    i think its something to do with a hotfix that doesnt allow some programs to run
