Help! I can't play civ2 under win2k!

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I recently installed win2k on my computer (well, actually I got a new computer with it on it) and I can't run Civ2: ToT anymore. I can't even get into the game...as soon as I click on civ2.exe, I get the "civ2.exe has generated errors...blah blah blah" crap.
I really want to play civ2! Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

At the risk of apearing facile - why do yo want Windows NT on a personal machine?? Dump it and load 98SE - IMHO the slight gain in stability offered by Win 2K is more than offset by its ferocious unwillingness to accomodate anything that isn't a pure 32 bit application

I'm sure this doesn't help - but it's the best I have to offer....

Tired of ads?

Civ2 is really a 16-bits program, designed for win3.1x and WinG. You will meet problems on NT/W2K.

It's running on my W2K-machine, though. Most important: install WinG first. It's on the CD, or you can find it on Microsoft's site. Try http://download.microsoft.com/downl...N-US/Wing10.exe

W2K is a Real Men's OS. Win9x is for kids.
Seriously, some of us are IT professionals, and need that extra stability, even at home or need to do minor testing from home machine.

And some of us want NTFS and real user security, not wanting the 9-year old kid to see ALL picture files stored...

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I am an IT professional - and I stand by my earlier remark - although I will accept your points are well made! My brat daughter is a little older - and probably doesn't want me to see all the pictures on her machine!!
