Windows ME hates Civ2. Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Yes, yes, I know Windows Me sucks, but I'm stuck with it for now, since I'm at college, and it just tells me "WinG load failure error: 2" whenever I try to run Civ2 or the map editor. I've checked all the old compatibility threads but they all cover XP, 98 or 2000. Any advice?

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with Civ2. I believe "WinG" refers to necessary drivers and they can be found on the game disk. It's been a while but I seem to remember that the game disk has a prompt to install these drivers (Indieo and WinG).

A full reinstall of the game should do the trick. Good luck.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Yes, I use Windows ME and it runs all flavors of Civ II once the required drivers are updated and in place.

Increase Your PM Length

Crap, I left my disc at home. Well, we'll see if that works whenever I get around to picking it up. I figured it was just a compatibility problem. Thanks.

I believe the WinG driver can be found on the net. Not sure where though. It may be worth throwing it at Google.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I also use ME, I don't have problems running the normal game. But when I add the MP patch from CivFanatics I get this when trying to show movies:

ICDecompressEX returned -3




ACK!
