v1.29f patch problem

[phaon]

I bought Civilization III not too long ago, and everything was running fine until I decided to install the v1.29f patch. Now every time I run the game it gives me an error telling me to insert the Civ3 CD-ROM in the CD drive (meanwhile the CD is in the drive) and then it refuses to run the game.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything. But I still get the same problem with the patch installed.

Help?

I don't remember the details now, but the patch changed the SecRom security checks. When you uninstalled did you remove all Register entries?

I seem to recall that Firaxis offered a patch for this to some users, you may want to check on them.

Otherwise do a list form the beginning here and look for this isue to see what others found.
