Windowed Version

from GalCiv2 Forums
I set the game so that I could minimize it (just in case the boss walks by) and now I cant even start a new game. None of the opening option buttons is functional. I have dwnlded all the upgrades. I have un and re installed the game to no avail.

Alt-Tab works too.

How did you 'set the game so that you could minimize it'?

Probably a screwy setting or something. Make sure this file is gone when you uninstall: My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\Prefs.ini

If it's reinstalled right now, copy that file somewhere, delete the original and then try loading the game.

Mikeswi's suggestion is good. Move or rename your prefs.ini file. This will make your game revert to default settings.

Can you run your galciv2.exe file directly? If so, you may want to check your shortcut and see if it has a w parameter at the end of it. For example :

Shortcut Target: "C:\program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2\galciv2.exe" w

Change that to
Shortcut Target: "C:\program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2\galciv2.exe"

If you still run into trouble, please post the contents of your debug.err file. This file can be found in the C:\Program FIles\Stardock\TotalGaming\Galciv2 folder.

Thank you.

I went to the setup screen and selected a tab and the option to allow to minimize was selected.

No the w parameter was not there. I will try to delete the prefs ini
