I know it's not supported but is anyone running on Windows ME?
The first time I loaded the game (unpatched) it worked OK for a while. I was able to do all the normal game functions. All of a sudden it froze and I had to recycle power to get the PC back. I restarted and loaded in my last save and it did it again.
I reinstalled the game and got the 1.52 patch and installed that too.
Now it crashes during start up. It looks like it's at the Init XML stage. The error message I get says there is a problem with MSVCR71.dll.
Also, Norton disk doctor is now telling me that Install Shield's DotNetInstaller.exe program is missing file mscoree.dll. I doubt that's crashing Civ IV but I suspect Civ IV is somehow responsible for its disappearance.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
