I borrowed the disk from a friend, GalacticCiv 2: Dark Avatar: expansion. i installed it on both this computer, running Vista 32 bit and on my laptop running XP 32 bit and it gets to the beginning video, plays, then crashes to desktop. this is a copy/paste fro my debug file.
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
