well symantec is the devil first of all

Second your diag show you are running about of 100mb of services in the backround that are not ms related. In order to get a clean shot at running the game you do not want anything to get in the way of trouble shooting.

besides norton can linger in the registry after uninstall.

Like I said before norton is the devil

What does this have to do with clicking on units who knows but we are going to find out.

 

[luwkwul]

I hope so, I'm about to judo chop these cd's.

 

[Neon Deon]

well let me know what happens after the msconfig thing.

If that doesnt work, we will have to go to plan B.

So maker ready the shot glasses.

 

[luwkwul]

when I try to run msconfig I get an error message... I think it's because I run MS 2000 isn't it? Says, cannot find msconfig or one of it's components.

 

[Neon Deon]

Well heck.

msconfig is its own program

[luwkwul]

can't even get it to read my CD's after the msconfig thing.

 

[luwkwul]

yeah even with normal settings it won't read the cd's I put in

 

[Neon Deon]

no cds are workin or civ iv cds are not working?

do you have burner software?

 

[luwkwul]

yeah I have a drive for it and some program I downloaded on the internet

 

[luwkwul]

In my computer, those drives aren't even showing up.

 

[Neon Deon]

start/run

type in: msconfig

on the general tab use the normal startup switch apply and reboot.

 

[luwkwul]

yeah I've done that

 

[Neon Deon]

go into device manager and verify that the cd drives are enabled

 

[luwkwul]

sorry, how do you get to that?

 

[Neon Deon]

control panel/system icon/hardware/device manager.

then hit the plus nect to cds highlight and right click for properties.

 

[luwkwul]

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but it appears they're enabled. Under DVD/CD-Rom drives it shows both ARTEC WRR-52Z and IDE DVD-ROM 16X with a yellow exclamation mark next to them.

 

[luwkwul]

Ok it says, this device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

 

[Neon Deon]

That means they are fubar.

Crap. That is bizarre.

CHeck and see if system restore is in you computer.

programs/accessories/system tools/system restore.

If so find a restore point before you installed msconfig and restore to that date.

 

[luwkwul]

goes from accessories to imagevue, not system tools...
