When I go to play Civilization III (Game Of The Year Edition, ver.
1.29f), the game will display the splash screen and then not do a
thing. Until I bring up the task manager and kill a process, that is!
Doesn't matter which process, any will do. Typically I just kill the
task manager itself. Anyway, once I've made this virtual sacrifice to
the Civ3 god, the game proceed to load and plays normally.
I used to have this game installed on an older machine and it ran just
fine there. Has anyone else had this problem?
Here are my system specs:
Epia M10000 motherboard
512MB RAM
Rosewill 52x CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
80GB HD
Windows XP w/ SP2
DirectX 9 (I think)
Hauppauge PVR-250 board (not currently in use)
I have very little software installed, just the OS, the Hauppauge
utilities, the CD-RW/DVD utilities (Nero Express, InCD, & PowerDVD),
and AdAware. And Civ3, of course. I updated to all the latest drivers,
but I could not flash my BIOS to the newest revision because the flash
software on VIA's web page does not accept the new BIOS version as a
valid BIOS file.
So, any ideas?
