hi Folks.
I am having problems running Ciiv 2 on XP.
The game installs OK but when you try to run it you get the message "cannot find commctrl.dll" followed by "cannot find dciman.dll"
Anyone any idea as to how I fix this. I'm not sure if there is a patch available somewhere or wot!
Thanks in anticipation
R

the strange thing is up until a few weeks ago it ran fine now, all of a sudden it's all turned to custard - very strange!

Likely you have uninstalled soemthing lately which uses those files and they were uninstalled along with it. Just do a google search for the files and download them. Most likely they go in your Windows\system\ folder

I don't know about Civ2 under XP, but i had your same problem with Test of Time on XP, luckily i was able to solve it running the game into Win2000 compatibility mode:
Right–click the civ2.exe in Tot folder.
Click "Properties".
Click "Compatibility" tab.
Check "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select "Windows 2000" from the combo box.
Leave unchecked other options and Tot should work well (at least this is what it did for me), hope this helps.
Greetings,
Angelo
