Hi,
Looks like i have a problem, when I start up galactic civilisations II on my laptop it crashes like 30 seconds later, when I'm just at the start menu, not even playing yet. I don't know why it acts like this, while it's working fine on my brothers laptop (a little bit better and newer one with windows vista)
on my desktop pc, (with Geforce 4 TI4200, 160 gb, 1 gb Ram DDR, and 1.8 Ghz) it works, but not normal, it doesn't show ship graphics. It are just black ships, with no graphics on them, very hard to see with black space background.
The error code of the laptop crash.
