civ3 complete won't start

[Ivan the Kulak]

This seems to be a different problem than the no-cd error stickied above, so I put it in a new thread.

I have civ3: complete installed on winME, no problems with install when first set up (months ago), I haven't run it for a couple of months, and now the game will not start at all. autorun is to start stub.exe (copy protection scheme?) but it does nothing, will not even print any error message.

I will try reinstalling, but this is a pain in the butt, takes time, so I thought first I would ask and see if anyone knows of a quick fix to the problem.

The only issue I'm aware of with the game not appearing to start is when you're not logged in with administrator rights.

But as this is WinME, that shouldn't be the issue.

Probably reinstalling is your best bet.
