Hey all!, First message out here so be gentle. :D Ok, here's the skinny. I'm unable to save my civ III Conquest games after about 5 mins into a new game. "Unable to save game". Before and after the patches have been installed. Ver 1.15. I'm unable to load any saved games after that 5 mins. Getting a error "unable to load not a valid save file" All 3rd party apps been turned off. Machine specs. Even emailed Tech Support at www.civiii.com and still no response after 1 month. Any ideas. Oh, also, uninstalled and reinstalled Civ. Also, reinstalled direct x.

1 - Is your harddrive full?
2 - How many files do you have in your save directory?

nope 74.5 gig on C drive available and 152 gig on D available. 4 files in the save directory.

I put the updated display driver in and now Civ III is working but Battlefield 1942 isn't. I can roll back to old driver and and get the reverse again. Either Civ or Battlefield I guess I have to make a choice?
