Cautionary note
Some players are getting new PCs and installing CIV4 right away. Everyone is wonderful. But they go back and install C3C again to finish off epics and PBEM games and they are unable to play C3C - it locks up.
The solution it appears and I have no reason why ... is that you must install C3C prior to CIV4
This is one solution to the problem I suggesed to someone had over in CIVFANATICS and the resolution worked. I am posting here incase someone else has the same issue.
I'm sure you have done everything you can but here are some suggestions that I would do in your shoes. 1) uninstall civ3, ptw, conquests and civ4 2) remove registry entries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames Interactive and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BreakAway Games HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firaxis Games 3) remove temp files and any folders left over 4) reboot 5) reinstall civ3 and conquests (it contains PTW) and then apply the full 122 patch for conquests 6) reboot See if conquests will play 7) if it does reinstall civ4 I recently installed CIV4 after reinstalling CIV3/PTW/Conquests on my new machine. They will run fine.
