hi,
I installed civ tot the other night and the game kept on hanging my box - randomly. I added the patch and all, but this continued.
Eventually I gave up
This morning I tried again, although with smac (I really wanted to play some civ this weekend). The exact same problem happened.
In win98 I never had this problem, and I still have the same h/w (p3/800, 288ram,voodoo3,sblive value,standard nic,usb) and I do have all the newest drivers, including directx 8.
The only difference is that the partition I set aside for installing games is NTFS. I had a feeling that I should of left a FAT32 but I wanted uniformity
BTW, when I view the win2000 event logs after I reboot (the only way out of the crash) its always "WMI ADAP" and the "PerfDisk Library" and "due to a time share violation".
I searched the apolyton boards, the MS kb too, and the lack of solutions is really discouraging.
Anyone here might have a clue? Thanks
