crash at turn end

[raven9]

Is there a way to recover a game that crashes (always a fairly advanced date) at the end of a turn, with mouse being lost and all info in window at left of main map blank? Rebooting, resaving don't help it seems to be in the last save.

What Date are you talking about. I've played games till 4000 ad (and even further) And I've never had problems. (I usually a very old DOS-Version of Civ)

Thanks for your query-the date is usually late 20th-early 21st century. I'm using civ for dos version 01. I've gotten around it by more frequent saves, but I was curious to find a fix, which I imagine might be a "cheat" to tell the computer to reset it's "move register" (I just made that up) so the game could go on.

It could be that the game gets corrupt. You could try to erase and install it again.

Thanks Will, but that has been done. The game has been used on many computers, and works well 99% of time
