maybe a silly question

Got the refresh rate done...I was not trying to open it with notepad and that was the problem....should fix that problem but have not run it yet to try...you guys have been helpful...Thx

Now for the only other problem I am having with the complete.....As I have said before the text overlays on Vanilla only are messed up....In the info box where it shows your selected unit all the texts are written over each other so you cannot read them...Another example is the preference menu where all is out of alignment and cannot read the top line..............Any ideas or suggestions

Also to Ginger Ale what will adding KeepRes=1 do?

In playing Vanilla as well it keeps closing and one time said Unable to allocate draw buffer and closed

KeepRes=1 will keep the screen resolution that you started out with. I would only do this if you're running a resolution bigger than 1024x768, the minimum Civ3 needs to run.

So if you're running 1280x1024, you can put keepres=1 in and it will keep that resolution.

As for vanilla, you're really not going to miss much....you could try looking at this support page, which deals with the graphics strangeness for Vanilla Civ3.

Ok I hate to beat a dead horse...Before I bought complete I had the demo to civ III on my computer which was plain civ3...I had removed the program but there may have been a file on my c drive(I put all on d drive) that could be interfering....I am considering uninstalling complete and reinstalling but I am wondering how to search on my computer for any civ III file left on after uninstalling.....Any way to do that????? The demo which I could only play for 50 minutes worked fine so vanilla should work fine.....or perhaps there is a problem with version 1.29f which vanilla is patched to???????????
