I was playing around with the Editor, screwed up a bit, and needed to reinstall the game. I just installed off the CD, then installed the patch and had problems. If you install the game and then install the patch, it will not run. It will hang up at the intro movie (gawd, i hate that thing) and then cause a Windows error.
You have to install it from the CD then run it once. It will create the civ INI file. Then quit out, install the patch and it will work fine when you run it again.
I tried it on my laptop (p3 650) after it happened on my desktop (Athlon 850) and had the same result.
Kind of a pain, but I suppose there are worse bugs out there. Guess I'll back up the bic next time.
