Help me plase to play multiplayer!

[Laurent Fignon]

I posted a message in theHelp section but later realized that this one would probably be more suited to find some help.

The thing is that I have installed civ2 MGE in my PC (PIII 800, 128 SDRAM). The installation seemed to be fine. However, when I double-click on the desktop icon, a pop-up box appears stating: GETFRAME: ICDecompressEx returned -3

The box cannot be closed no matter how many times you click on the OK button and the game never starts.

Help me please! I am really desperate. I tried to contact MPS and of course they have ignored me. You guys are my last chance!

Delete it all and try installing it again. That usually fixes most problems.

[Laurent Fignon]

Thanks Ming (mon ami ) for your reply but I already tried that... without success

What os are you using?

[Smash]

So.. after cycling you took up civ??

The last response may hold the answer.MGE doesn't like a certain version of a certain OS.

[Clay Pigeon]

cycling?

[Smash]

Laurent Fignon is/was a world class cyclist.A Tour de France winner.

if you install in a folder, other than the default, the patch won't work...maybe thats a potential problem too?

Now, how can I know if my w98 version is a cursed one?


"So.. after cycling you took up civ??"

You might say so I retired a bit before civ hit the shelves.

I'd like to see this solved.I use a MAC and have no such problems

I think win98 is ok.I know similiar problems have arisen in the past.Someone here knows.Now come to the rescue.
