Hosting Indeo drivers

[Ben Kenobi]

Since they are no longer provided for free without a registration to driverguide, would it be possible to host these files here on Apolyton?

I can think of two people in just the last week who would have found these files useful.

If Apolyton is not wanting to host them, then I will give them to Cedric Greene and Civ Fanatics, so that they can, and I am sure that they will be willing to do so.

sure we'll host them, but arent they on the civ2 cd?

i recently re-installed the vanilla civ2 on windows xp without a problem

[MarkG]

and if there was some hint in your note about your other choices, i refuse to accept it

[Ben Kenobi]

I have them on my hdrive, but I can't upload them to apolyton.

but arent they on the civ2 cd?

Sadly my old and antiquated vanilla Civ2 disc no longer functions. All I have left functioning is the CiC disc.

Are you sure you can't find them for free? It was only a few months ago I found updated drivers for use with newer versions of Windows. And Mark, I don't think those old ones work with the newers Windows anymore.

/me goes to see if he can find them for free on the Net

I see what you mean, obiwan. Those same drivers I found for free now are still the same, but seem to require a registration. Annoying.

i saw an attempt to upload an exe file. zip it up

Not that simple Markos.

It's a macro that self-extracts.

WinZip won't let me zip it up.

I could zip the constituent parts, but that will take some time.

I have to head off to work this morning, so I'll do all that when I get back.

[MarkG]

you cant zip a an already zipped file???

[MrWhereItsAt]

Can you .rar it? Or if all else fails just change the extension to .zip or something, upload it, and then we just need to make sure there's an info screen somewhere with the link to download it that tells you to make sure you change the extension back to .exe

[Ben Kenobi]

No love. It still retains the .exe extension.

What I can do is break it into it's constituent parts, and then rezip the whole thing.

[Ben Kenobi]

That worked.

Here's the zip.

This is for Windows 98 and Windows 2K not for xp

[Ben Kenobi]

Now for xp.

I take it you have file extensions of known file types hidden, right? Because that won't allow you to change extensions.

- Double-click on My Computer.
- Click Tools then Folder Options.
- Click on the View tab.
- Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types."
- Click Apply then OK.

And of course you can zip it. Create a new Zip file and add the file to it.
