If you're running dual monitors, you'll need to set the game to windowed mode in the prefs.ini file to get it to come up the first time, but otherwise it should work fine in Win7.

Odd, I on;ly have one monitor.  It plays a second or two of the intro audio and then crashes.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on which game you're playing:

Dread Lords: My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2
Dark Avatar: My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar
Twilight of the Arnor: My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

Older versions may store the debug directly in the location the game is installed at.

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

Not sure if I have the same problem as Sympnerv, but I posted here because I think it's a compatibility issue between GalCiv II and Win7.

I can run the game in Campaign (not sure for how long, though.), but when I try to play in sandbox I can't customize the race (tech tree and personality are dimmed and won't come up.).  Also, when I get to the "Choose opponents" screen it seems that all the options are disabled; I can't change anything.  Then I click on "Next" and it invariably shuts the game down.

Here's my full debug:

It sounds like you have a scenario selected. There was also an issue in 2.02 that could cause scenarios to fail to start which was fixed in 2.03, so updating should fix that.

Uh, thank you.  You were right, I had a scenario selected and now that I have deselected it the game runs perfectly.

Go to My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 (or the DA/TA folders as appropriate), open the file prefs.ini, and make the following changes:

Change
DisplayWidth=1024
DisplayHeight=768
ColorDepth=32
Fullscreen=1

To
DisplayWidth=(Your desktop width)
DisplayHeight=(Your desktop height)
ColorDepth=32
Fullscreen=0

Then save the file and start the game.
