Ok, here's the problem. CivIII:Conquests just won't work right on my computer. I used to have it on my computer, but I restored it to factory condition. While I still had it working it was on Windows 98. Now I put WinXP on and installed C3C, but it won't work(yes, I installed CivII first). I tried using the compadibility thing on it, but when I switch it to Win98 or any other setting it just doesn't start. Without the compadibility on and I start the game, it starts fine, then when the main menu comes up, my monitor decides to turn off. When I trun on the monitor on and off I see a short glimpse of the menu, but the monitor just turns right off. What do I do now?
I'm sure things like this have been posted (that's half the reason this is the first place I went) and I hope someone has experienced this to so they can give me some advice. Well thanks in advance.
***Fixed the problem***
Turned out the driver for the video card wasn't working. In fact it couldn't even give me 1024X786 pixel (or whatever it was). Downloaded a new driver and it is fine. I still wonder why the driver was worse on Xp then it was on 98, maybe I lost it on the restoring process, who knows. Well Hope this at least helped someone.
