Okay, has anybody seen this one? I have gone through hell trying to get Civ to work.
Basically, I used to play CivIII all the time, without a single problem. I stopped playing for a few months, and in that time I must've installed something that conflicts with Civ, because now the game WILL NOT start.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, downloading the 1.29f patch, getting rid of fonts (I was told having more than 255 can cause conflicts sometimes), I uninstalled Ocraware, something I didn't even know was on my system, and even deleted and edited Registry Keys, and the stupid game still will not start!
Most of the time now, the game locks up right after you choose your country and the game difficulty. it goes back to the main Civ screen and shows a progress bar, about to start a new game. After that, a new progress bar (that I never noticed before when I played the game) comes up and says something like "configuring AI players...", then "Assigning Team Colors". Right when that second progress bar completes, the game freezes. Occasionally, the game will ALMOST start (I can see the map, and the first scout and settler you get at the beginning of the game for a split second) and then I get a blue screen with the "Error 0E:0028:FF080D6A" message. I searched for this error on Google, and nothing came up.
I'm at my wit's end, if someone can shed some light on this for me, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks in advance.
