I have the 1.61 version of CIV, and it has recently began to result in a blue screen with a memory dump error after one to several turns, depending on the point of the game played. The machine does not restart after the blue screen--I have to do it manually. I feel like the specs of my...

I am currently planning a trip to Central and Eastern Europe (as the title indicates), and I was hoping for some advice from people who have visited there or who live there. The countries I am most interested in for this trip are Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Austria...

I am trying to use some graphic mods, but I am not able to locate the DDS files to replace them. When I open the Assets folder, I then open the Art folder, and there are only two folders there: Interface and Movies. The game is working fine, so it is not like the files are not on my computer...

I am trying to make a few modifications to my civ3.ini file (like change the resolution, turn off the starting video, etc), and I can't seem to find my civ3.ini file. :confused: I even went so far as to run a search on my computer for the file, and nothing turned up. Any idea why this is...

http://us.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/15/tv.cbs.apology.ap/index.html A CBS Producer was fired for interrupting CSI:NY to give a special report on Yasser Arafat's death. Apparently, there were so many complaints about the interruption (which was supposed to have been in the form of a news...

The Story Are the Yankees so desperate for victories right now that they are resorting to calling for a team coming from a hurricane-battered state to forfeit? That is pretty weak, if I should say so myself.

http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/08/04/gibraltar.celebrates/index.html What is your opinion of the Gibraltar situation? If I recall, Gibraltar has overwhelmingly voted to remain British on several occasions, yet Spain continues to believe that it should come back under Spanish...

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040713/ap_on_re_eu/france_anti_semitic_attack_13 Well, I guess we can all stop worrying about the state of the human race :p , because apparently the girl who was a victim of anti-semitism in France made up the story for an as of yet unknown reason...

Stage 3 of this year's Tour de France has two sections of cobblestone road--the first is 1.7 miles long, the second nearly 3/4 of a mile. First of all, what is cobblestone road doing in a cycling race? I mean, riding a mountain bike over cobblestone is one thing, but having to ride a road...

Does anybody have borders that are multi-colored like the original borders but are curved as well? Currently, I am using curved solid borders, because I like how they show borders better than the original solid lines. The problem is that I am trying to implement new colors for my civs, but...

I am going on a trip in a couple of weeks to Spain, and I was wondering if any of you in here from Madrid or knowledgeable of the area have any good ideas for a place to stay. I would prefer having my own room, despite it costing more, but I still want an affordable place that isn't too shabby...

I looked through five pages of past threads in the hopes of finding something about wireless routers, but to no avail. I am currently looking for a router to link two desktop computers up to a single cable modem. Now I know that that situation does not call for a wireless router, but I will be...

Currently, I am in a rather unwelcome situation. My girlfriend of almost 16 months is off studying abroad for the semester in Spain. We are pretty serious about things, and so long as we don't change a lot in the next few months, we plan on living together when she comes back. My question is...

I noticed another thread asking for some cooking suggestions, and I thought it would be nice to get a thread going to which everybody could contribute their favorite recipe. Admittedly, this is somewhat selfish, as I would like to get some more recipes for myself, but I also want to see what...

I am in a situation where I have a lot of time on my hands for the next several months, and I want to make sure I stay busy (and not just playing Civ). So I have decided I would like to learn another language. I'm already fluent in English (obviously) and Spanish, and I am trying to decide...

For those of you out there who have ever awoken three or four hours before your alarm is to go off (or who never fell asleep in the first place), what do you do with your time? I've been stressed out like crazy lately, and I found myself awake nearly four hours before my alarm is to go off, and...

Which do you think is more satisfying--conquering a city or culture flipping a city? Personally, I would have to say that culture flipping a city is WAY more satisfying, as it occurs with much less regularity. I am currently playing a game where I am going almost solely for growth and...

I may just be missing something basic, but is there a way to use some of the old graphics, such as Snoopy's, in a Conquests game? I tried to make an epic game with the modded graphics, but it treated it as a PTW game (meaning no new civs and such). Please help. Also, while lurking in...
