How much video memory does your system have? Does it meet the minimum listed on the game box?
And if you are running less than 256MB RAM how much free space do you have on your C: drive? (You may be out of swap space)

The battery on my bios chip is going. When I boot up after haveing my computer off for six hour my systen clock was off by about 6 hour. Once than awhile it doesnot want to boot correctly. My brother said than bios chip with the battery going can cause hardware and software problem. I have 4 meg builtin motherboard intell video card with 256 meg of memory and a 60 gigbtyes harddrive with sightly over 8 gigbytes of space being use. Never have a problem with running MOO3 with patch 1.25 untril about than week an half ago.

The WindowMe operateing system is taken up over 500 megbytes on my harddrive. While my amigra 500 have no harddrive have 1/2 of it OS on the workbench and 1/2 in ROM.
I hear MS is going to put it next Window in the BIOS Chip to lockout all non-MS softwares and hardwares and to screw up
people with than screw up OS which would be very hard to upgrade or patch.

I think I'll try MOO3 again after I get bored with UFO-Aftermath and C3C (Which will be awhile yet).

Check out one of my postings from around the June timeframe. When I was attempting to find the cause of the crash bug in the original version, I found a number of graphics settings that caused the mouse cursor to become useless shortly after startup. The solution (which I still run to date) is to save the music onto the hard drive.
You may ask yourself "What the heck does saving the music off to the hard drive have to do with the freekin mouse cursor?". Turns out the problem with the crashing and other assorted malaise seems to stem from the CD protection scheme implemented by Infogrames (nee Atari). When you switch between screens, it checks to see if CD 2 is in the drive. Unfortunately, the CD is already being accessed by the routine responsible for playing the background music. On an OS that have been tailored for playing multimedia applications from CD, this seems not to be a problem; but on systems tailored for data caching (read-ahead) it's fatal. That's why this is a programming no-no spelled out in first year programming class. Saving the music onto your hard drive avoids this potential conflict.

I got the mouse 2 or 3 month ago when the problen started. The anti-spy program I have deactivate the two spyware or adv ware programs in a seperate folder. Have no problem since ecpect when I have some iolate mouse freeze up like after playing agame for 3 or 4 hours straight without saveing.
Before the mouse would freeze up in the open moive when you run MOO3, or in the first turn of than MOO3 game.

Thanks to the advice of Stormhound, I also put my music on the Hard Drive, as the game had frozen up on me. Now this solved some problems but recently I was unable to exit the game normally but had to pretend I wanted a new game to get out of the old!
My confidence in this game is badly shaken and I just dont know if I can ever hazard playing it again. Pity, because I do think that conceptually it has the makings of a great game. If only Infogrames were supporting it in the way that Stardock is supporting 'Galactic Civilisations'!
If Infogrames had any sense, they would re-hire guys like Stormhound to put things right!
Live long and prosper.

Had it running over a year without needing to be reset or power downed before I had to give it up for the improved graphics of the modern PCs.
How would some sites know that unless you mention it?
You have no idea how close to the truth you are (and you didn't hear that from me).
