GC: dread lords wont start

Hiya guys. Ive got a problem with GC:DreadLords, hoping you can help me out.

basically, when i put my disk in to install GC, an error comes up saying 'GC2Launch.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.'

So, i work around it, go into my computer, explore CD, and start Setup on disk, so i can install. Installs fine.

But when i click on the desktop icon to play, the error pops up again. I dont know what to do. I dont know if its anything to do with the disk, or my computer, or what.

Thanks in advance guys, i really appreciate it

There are a variety of reasons the launcher might fail (overactive antivirus programs are a popular culprit). In any case, you can simply change the shortcut to point at GalCiv2.exe instead of GC2Launch.exe, and run the game directly.

Kyro, i could kiss you

Come to think of it, GC never played after i started using Norton Security. Bah!
Thx
