Hi. Check out Daemon Tools site. The site below will take you directly too a page where I think a program is called Anti-Securom loader that may help you overcome this problem. Here is the site. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=2 You'll see...

As far as preformance, which is classified as better? PCI or AGP? Motherboard architecture not withstanding. The last PCI video card I owned was a Virge s3 (4 megs of vid). So are you for PCI? or AGP?

Hi. I own a Radeon 9550 vid mem 256. I have mine set to 32 megs for apt size. I have seen differences in fps preformance on most of my games. I also would like to mention that on some of these games I have had to lower my resolutions due to the video card cpu. As far as Civ 4 is...

Good Question, and one I can't answer. The people who were able to play it before the patch couldn't after installing the 1.52 upgrade, so this one is up to you. I figure if the game is working fine at the moment I wouldn't bother getting a new card, because if the next major patch fixes the...

Nowadays thats pretty much the rule of thumb. I often purchase games that have been on the market for about 9 months or so, this way I can be sure something has been done about the bugs. Bargain Bins are great...$9.95 for a game that would have cost you $60.00 dollars a year, and half ago...

Hi. I think this is a great mod idea Civmansam. I can't help you out I'm afraid. I'm all thumbs when it comes to these sort of things. Just thought I would drop a line saying good idea. Please keep it going. I'm looking forward to the full mod. Later!

Hi all. Well, this is quite the subject to be venturing into but as always my brain is smaller than most. I think this tolerance issue has become out of hand because there is no way that everyone will be satisfied on one level, this is why we have rooms for adults, rooms for children...

I really agree with you. I just purchased Silent Hunter 3 from UBI, and this game is a hardware hungry piece of software, and all I had was the minmum system specs, and it worked like I had the full recommended specs. Version 1.0 right out of the box ran like a charm. The required system specs...

Hi there. I am sorry if it isn't working for you, believe me, you are definately not alone in this. I would suggest as a basic measure first: Download, and Install the patch which is 1.52 (this fixes some problems, not all but some). If this doesn't fix one or more of your problems, then...

Hi there. The suggested fixes do work pretty well. What bothers me is that by the time we have all these fixes in place, we are playing a game that has Stick People on a CGA background. Thanks for the fixes... Later!

OH....my mistake. Later!

Hi. Thanks, I appreciate the help. I'll try your suggestion. Later!

Hi there. If that is the case, perhaps they may look at placing extra info on their boxes such as an addition "will not work on all systems, even though you meet the minimum system requirements, we do not guarantee that this is a workable copy at time of print, or future releases. Also the...

Hi. I have an AGP Radeon 9550 with 256 megs of video memory. I have 512 megs of system, and Intel celeron 2.6 ghz, running windows XP (sp1). Max size in BIOS is 256. (Bios fully up todate). What size should I really have my apeture setting that would improve preformance not only...

I know, that is when the phrase "my dog ate the chits" really mean't something. I loved those games...oh well. Great to know there are others out there who loved them as much as I do. Later guys!
