They have communism, isn't that close enough? I don't want my civs yelling "Hoffman for President" or going on strike.

More people are stuck with the game than have the option to take it back (most retailers don't allow software returns). I think the industry has fixed itself in a position where they can take the hit. Think about it. All sort of rules are created to limit liabilities and subjegate...

What kind of problems? Video or lockups?

Update, during the later part of the game, the black terrain comes back with a vengeance. I don't see how this could be my computer. The game runs fine for hours, then once you progress to a certain point, the problem appears persistently. I am playing on a standard size map.

TRY TURNING THE GRAPHICS DOWN TO LOW, YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY. I have the same problem w/ GeForce 6800, 2.4Ghz AMD, and 2 GIG's of RAM.

it is strange that the sendto folder is being written to. I am not sure why. I checked my sentto and there is nothing in there new... Maybe try sending an email to take2k support??

The spearmen have flint and steel don't they? Hey, maybe they have Roman fire (just like a sticky bomb).....

Happens all the time noadays. It seems that the additional funding provided by the sales revenue is needed to finish QA. Heck, now they are selling the 'boxes' long before the game is even finished. If you are lucky, the game you bought will sell well enough to fund the necessary patches to...

If it's not to sore of a subject... How much did you pay for shipping? Keyboards can be had for $5-10 (new ones that actually work). All of the signals coming from your keyboard travel down the same wire to your computer. Maybe you can get Take2K to reprogram Civ4 for you :lol: I...

Delete that directory before you try reinstalling. The contents of my folder is 1.47 GIGABYTES. "12.7 GigaByte free space (after install and patch)" This statement bothered me.... Did your original setup of CIV4 say it completed successfully? When did you get the admin error....

Set spear, hide in the bushes, spear pierces gas tank, tank explodes. Nuff said?

Well, we started off on the wrong foot, are you getting this message on install or at some other time? Is it before any files get copied. look in you Program Files directory and see if Firaxis is in there. If it isn't, try creating a new file or folder under Program Files and see if the...

I think you have a soundblaster live or Audigy? Try downloading the latest drivers from Creative Labs. good luck, Pat

yah, and Indiana Jones jumped out of an airplane on a dingy and landed on the ground safely, or was that 007? I forget.
