  • Crashing after installing new patch on XP

    I just installed XP about 3 weeks ago, and prior to that I was playing Civ3 on ME. I quit playing since I wanted to wait until the patch fixed things.

    However, I just installed the patch and tried to play and it crashed after going through the screens that you can access with the function keys, e.g. F8, F9, etc. I rebooted and the same thing happened.

    I have had no problems playing Wizardry 8 on XP in the past few weeks, and I have had *no* problems at all in 6+ years that were *specific* to my computer. All the problems I've had with games in the past were commonly known problems addressed in a patch.

    I mention this because I don't want to hear anyone say it's a problem with my computer.

    I would assume other XP'ers are having the same problem.

    I just uninstalled and re-installed Civ3 and the problem went away so it's definitely a patch problem.

    BTW, I have a GeForce 2 with the latest detonator drivers that "fixed" the XP scroll problem.
