I get a blue screen everytime I try to run Civ3. "Dumping memory to disk" ...etc... Says ANV_DISP.DLL is the culprit.

Running Windows 2000 Server on an Intel Pentium 4 1.5ghz , Intel mb, 512 rambus ram, 32mb asus videocard, PLENTY O harddrive space, and an SB Live.

Here's what I've tried

-- uninstalling and reinstalling civ3
-- reinstalling it with my CDR drive instead of my cd drive.
-- copied all files from game cd to d:\ and installed it from there.
-- tried 60hz, 75hz, 80hz
-- tried 256 colors, 800x600, 640x480
-- copied the bink .dll from the game cd to the installed directory when it was finished installing, as it says to do in the readme.txt and on the Civ 3 Support site.
-- I have DirectX 8
-- I have the latest videocard drivers
-- I have the latest SBLive drivers
-- I have the latest driver for my monitor.
-- tried running it in a Win 98 window using Connectix Virtual PC, with 128 Megs allocated.

Any ideas?

In your autoexec.bat and config.sys put the line rem before your CD-ROM and that you will allow you to have more conventional memorie and it will run. I got the same problem at start. Let's try it.

Nothing in my autoexec.bat or config.sys...

They're empty.

But thanks anyways.

Hi!
