Here's what happens:
I'll load up Civ3. It changes the resolution for the movie, changes back and when I get into the menu. That is where I get the first visible warning. The text at the bottom of hte screen is "mushed" together, and all the menu options are in bold and shifted up by about 1/2 a line. I then select anything leading to a new game - customize map, load game, etc... - and it'll either go to the next screen, or boot me to the desktop. Let's say that I choose 'New Game". What will happen is that it will load the next screen ("Customize Map"), again any normal text (not image files displaying text) will be shifted & bolded. Once I click on the "ok" button to proceed into the game, I get booted to the desktop. There are NO error messages, the log file does NOT record any errors. This also happens with ANY version of the game that I try.
Here's my system specs:
-pIII 750Mhz
-768MB RAM
-Win XP Professional, with all updates.
-GeForce 2 MX 400 using (right now) Detonator 27.xx drivers (I was using the latest ones available before, with same results).
-SB Live! with most recent drivers
-More than enough free HD space
-Other progs in the background: NAV, IRC, iroffer (DOS based IRC bot), winamp, usual assortment of drivers/system utilities.
Right now I am trying different compatability modes, without any success so far. I use to have this problem before, but it was not an issue as I had a dual boot system (win98SE & XP). Now that I have one OS, I do need to fix it.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not yield any positive results either, iy has only server to use up time & energy.
If this has been posted before, I would greatly appreciate a link to the solution. If anyone knows the answer, I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
