Is that problem still around???

You did use the right patch? (not sure if the spanish is out yet)

Try the topped thread, I think the answer is in there somewhere. Something to do with deleting one of the windows fonts if I'm not mistaken.

Ok I had the same trouble with win98 first edition.

The solution for me was pressing CTRL+ALT+SUPPR and ask to kill em_exec task related to logitech mouse software.

Hope this helps

Patch trouble

I have the same trouble,although I thought the problem was that I downloaded the original patch from the official web page but I didn't read it was incopatible with other non US versions

So if anyone can tll me if I download the english version from Apolyton will I need a crack for it (to work without a CD)?

Thanks ahead

Neda,

If i well understand, you got an error code 28 by applying a US PTW 1.21 patch to a non US version.

Why not using the patch dedicated to your version ?
Each version of PTW have to receive its dedicated patch and they are incompatible beetween them.

Neda,

i got the same trouble with French patch. Have you a logitech mouse ? In this case try my upper tip in this thread, and perhaps try to kill more hidden tasks running in windows.

Thirst I wona thank you vortex for trying,but I've downloaded the right patch and the problem is still arround

P.S. I don't have a logitech mouse I have a Genius

I've now even tried reinstalling the whole game and the situation is different:The computer can't find the IFC23.DLL file!?

What shall I do!???

hi ,

uninstall , look manually for files like ptw , infogrames , civilozation , firaxis , etc , .......

delete those , reboot , reinstall , get patch , before you do this check windows update for direct - X 9 and so , ...


make sure all other programs are closed while you do this and make sure all hard and software security is off (!)

that really ought to do it

have a nice day

Ok Neda, please give us more information

What OS are you using ?

Do you have a separate partition for your OS and you civIII/PTW installation ?

What task are running in windows when you have your problem ?

...

[neda]

I've tried everything Panag sad,and nothing is working.

And Vortex I'm sorry but I didn't understand your last post (what's an OS ?)

But the task part I got.I have AVX pro runing (that's been causing me some trouble with the games earlier but I just shut it down before I enter the games and problem solwed)

If it would help my civ III is not an original one as well as the PTW e.p. so the trouble may be in the crack files (especialy the patch crack)

??????????????

Neda,

if you haven't an original copy of CIV III nor PTW :

1) I can't help you because we have probably not exactly the same files on each installation

2) I won't help you because I 'm not used to support piracy
