Civilization 3 Question

[alireza]

Every time i get to the industrial age......the computer say's civilization 3 has encountered a problem and has had to close!?!?!

and its annoying, because everything up to that point works fine, but once you get higher in the game..it says that error.....your computer has encountered an erorr, send error report and that ****


and i cant figure it out , so for now theres no point in playing a game because you know is gonna get ****ed

seems like that's a known problem

according to the support page, they reckon it's mostly caused by corrupted files. proposed solution is to uninstall the game using add/ remove prog's and then re-install.

here is the page reference:

In program: Unexpected Exit when the era changes

i'm assuming that, since your machine wants to run home to mummy everytime something goes wrong (send error report), you must be experiencing the endless joy and warmth that comes from running windows xp.

if so, you can check out the faq at

Atari - Windows XP Support Page

if that doesn't work, you will need to get at least this much info together:
System Make and Model
Processor Type
Operating System, including version number if possible (such as Windows Me; Windows 2000; Windows XP)
RAM (Memory)
Any screen or error messages you've encountered (and where)
game version and patch number

hope that get's you going again

edit: hmm, the second link keeps going wonky on me, typical @#$% xp behaviour!
use this one instead;
