Win2000 help, PLEASE!!

[mgitec]

Hello All,

I just bought CivII yesterday and tried installing it on my system. When I go to play the game, the screen first changes to black, then switches back to the desktop and minimizes, a couple of seconds later I get a "Illegal Operation" error by windows and the game shuts down.

I've installed DirectX 8.x and WinMedia Player in the hopes that this would help, but no dice. This is really frustrating considering I just paid $70.00 Can for the game. Please help whoever can.

Thanks

First of all. Civ2? do you have the right game? you mean Call to Power 2 right?

i am using windows me. i am not shure how 2000 works but what i have read dont install dirext x 8.0 too many people are having problems with it and try using that patch.

hope this works.
