Civ II on Win2000

[rlewisii]

Has anyone ever heard of getting Civ II installed on Windows 2000. Civ III is ok, but I would like to get back to playing Civ II.

Yes it has been done - although there have been reports of problems loading ...

Can you give me any leads as to who or where I can find the process they used to get the install to work?

After deleting the file in step 2 and loading with hearlds off, it seems to be working. It didn't happen this way the first time I tried it about 3 months ago.

Civilization 2 (Microprose) Yes W2000 12/00
Received the follow messages:
1) I recently noticed that after installing the compatibility updates for Windows 2000, the movies in Civilization II began playing again with no problems at all.
2) When it comes to the "INSTALLING INDEO VIDEO INTERACTIVE" screen. Hit the EXIT button. DO NOT INSTALL THIS. If you did install it then do this: If you received this error when you run Civ 2: "CIV2 caused a Stack Fault in module IR41.dll at 0002:019D. Choose close. CIV2 will close." Then delete the IR41.dll file in the \winnt\system directory.

Sorry - I just ran a search on the forums and archive - and can't find the threads I had in mind ...

I am running win2k, with the latest patches. I have the video stuff installed, and heralds on. It (MGE) works fine.
