i had same kind of issue on win98 pc. i eventually said f*** it, because there wasnt enough room for a full install on it. i installed civ3 on an XP pro machine and it runs fine. i just wanna know why the f*** it didnt get by the splash screen in 98, unless doing a minimal install messed it. no spare hd to find out.

ps safedisk patch? whoa......they have a messy thing. i just read the website as well. they did the stupid circa 95 thing where the install looks for the cd in only the drive it was installed from. retarded.

try the v1.17f patch. they say it fixes stuff
