Windows ME & Civ2

[stwils]

I have a new laptop with Win. ME. Sometimes the music for Civ2 plays and sometimes it doesn't. The intro music plays, and all of the sounds, but sometimes the game music stops just as the first settler pops up.

I can reboot. That helps sometimes.

What can I do? Anyone here have this problem?

It is very upsetting.

Make sure that "music" is checked.

I did that. It was checked.

Still puzzled.

Install win98 all they did with Me was up the bloat and intoroduce new bugs.

You propbaply need the later versions of the Indeo video and sound drviers. A two year civ2MGE had problems with my winME, but a more recently produced one with the newer Indeo drivers had no problem.
For win2k you need at least the 5.11 version of the Indeo drivers, I suspect that winME can get along with 5.00, Anyway they are available at ligos.com.
Find Dave Pritchards civ2/win2k thread on the problems and help forum; Thunderfall's post in it contains a direct link to the Indeo downloads: two drivers one video, 1 sound.
