SkOtie - it is just the single image of the Civ III Castle before the movie - the splash screen I believe it is called. That comes up over my desktop, without taking up the full screen, and then dissapears, as it should. However, the Civ III movie should start up after but it doesn't. So, if...

Ok, does anybody know how I could check out what my video card is and also does someone know of a website with the latest video cards are for the IBM ThinkPad? I hope this works!

The same thing happens to me but I don't have a Compaq so what do I do? : mutters : stoopid non-Compaq PC....

Ok, I'm hoping this is a relatively common problem so maybe someone could help. I have Windows XP on a Pentium Processor with all the gubbins. Whenever I try to play the game it will go to the screen before the opening movie and then nothing will happen and I'll be stuck at windows. It...

Many thanks - and I apologize for not putting this in the newbies thread. I have now figured out that my game does have Earth Maps but that the nations don't start in the right positions. Is there any way to make sure they do?

I apologize if this is in the newbie's thread but I looked through most of the pages and couldn't find anything, and when I tried to search for the topic I was told the search engine was disabled by those crafty mods, so - is there any way to start the game using an Earth map? I know that the...
