civIII
 

I was making another back-up copy of my CivIII game because knowing me, i'll have my first one scratched up and not working within a week, so I went to try it out, and it starts up, i click play Civ III, and then the screen goes back to my desktop and i get an error, Civilizations3.exe is not functioning correctly and must close, if anyone could help?

I take it this doesn't happen with the original ? Make sure the original works so we can rule out driver issues. Did you use a crack or did you try an exact copy ? With which program did you make the copy ? Is the game patched to the latest version ?

Correct, driver issues are ruled out. There is no crack in the CivIII cd. I used clone CD to create the back-up. No, it's not patched to the latest, i dont see why there are patches since civIII isnt multiplayer, im not talking about the expansion Play the World.

what version is it on, then? the patches run from 1.01 up through 1.21f (7f?), and they probalby all have different safediscs on them.

posting burner helps too
