Civ 3 Conquests Unable to Allocate Draw Buffer, Terminating

[Cyc]

Not a problem, Tony. I was going to suggest comparing your Civilopedia and PediaIcons to a fresh copy, but as you say - "a nightmare". That's when I came up with the suggestion above. =8^)

Can now confirm that traditional problems such as missing PRTO's, spaces where there shouldn't be, hard returns, non-indexed grahics, etc. are not the cause. I've reconstructed the biq from the earlier working version while also deconstructing the modern biq backwards. The game will go from working to crashing without making changes. The crash also does not appear on any one screen, and alternately appears in the city screen, advisor screens, or even when attempting to right click a stack.

Pretty much out of ideas at this point. Only thing that I can still think of is that it is Windows 7 related, and will dig out the old XP to see if the same error occurs.
