I've read some advice about this phenomenon, and can say that:
* I'm running Windows 98
* Civ3 vanilla 1.29f
* I'm not using a save file from a previous patch version of civ3
* I have made sure that the ".amb" sound files exists in Worker and Settler for the corresponding ".ini" files for the Industrial Age.
The last item got me past the splash screen. Now the game crashes randomly a turn or two later during my portion of the turn (I have "wait after my turn" on). The last time, it was after my units auto-moved (on their multi-turn instruction) and a couple of actions later, I right-clicked on a stack of my units --> core dump.
v1.29f
CIVILIZATION3 caused an invalid page fault in

Any help would be appreciated. BTW, where can I find the core file and what tool if any, can I use to look at it in Windows, like gdb for UNIX, and would that help?
Thanks!
