Hi CivFanatics Forums!
I really wish my first post here wasn't a technical one, but I've ran out of options as to what I should do now with my problem...
My Civilization 3 game has been running flawlessly for about ~6 months, after which I had to put it down because schoolwork was piling up. Now that I have time to pick it up again, the "Intro window" that pops up when you first insert the CD (asking if you want to PLAY GAME, README, UNINSTALL, or EXIT) appears normally. However, if I click PLAY GAME, the following message appears:
"Civilization3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I can't even get to the opening cinematic.
It doesn't actually say what the problem is. I've tried installing and reinstalling a number of times, but that doesn't work.
I'm really at a loss here. Any suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated.
