[TOT] Crashes as soon as I establish my new city

[skyrambler]

Hello, I'm new to the forum, not new to Civ II ToT.
Not finding the game somewhere in my garage, I recently bought the original Microprose CivII ToT disk on Ebay. It arrived in perfect condition.
I use a notebook Asus N53TK x64, not expert on computer tecnology.
Installing the game is easy, the game starts after usual preferences with my lonely settler in a field, he can ramble around up and down, but just when I decide to build my first town, the game stops and tells me about there's an error, so stop the game or look for a solution on line.
No problem conquering another town, but building my own.

Try reinstalling, using this installation guide. Since the game is so old, there are a few pitfalls for installation that might not be immediately apparent .

A more 'quick' solution is to use either the Test of Time Patch Project

OR (you can't install above patch after using this one, unless you reinstall)

Hi, thanks very much.
I tried at the first link, the first hint to install the game in a folder on C/games
The first run of the game gone well, I built a couple of towns.
After an exit I tried to start a new game again and the problem came back.
Strange.
