Civilization III Complete problems.

[Scriptdaemon]

I have searched for fixes for this problem, but nothing I found quite fit the exact problem I was having with this game, or if it did I was unable to find an adequate solution. I have Civilization III Complete. Both of the expansions (Conquests and Play The World) work perfectly, but when trying to play the original game, it fails to run. It loads up to the main menu, but the splash screen has no sound and the text at the bottom is jumbled. This isn't the main problem, but I figured maybe this has something to do with it. When I go to play the game, it loads the screen where I can choose the map type, but as soon as I click the button to go to the next screen, it brings me back to the desktop. Also, when I quick start a game, it loads a game and I can move my settler around, but when I try to build a base, it gives me an error saying unable to allocate draw buffer, and then quits.

Sounds like the installation didn't go right for Vanilla. Have you tried reinstalling?

This is probably my fourth or five time re-installing. I've even disabled every background application while doing so as well, if that helps.

I can tell u that im having same problem and i got bored triying to fix it... just like u PTW and C3C runs smooth but vanilla doesnt run tried reinstalling, using no cd cracks, updating vanilla to latest patch even knowing that complete version is patched already and nothing worked anyway I use to play only in conquest he he

So it seems is something about the install, maybe more ppl with complete version can post if they have the same problem or if they fixed it how to do it

Well, it's good to see I'm not the only one with this problem. Hopefully someone who knows a fix for this sees this thread.
