This is running on my machine at work, Windows XP Professional version 2002, service pack 2. Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.00GHz, 1.00GB RAM with an amazing 32MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra video card.
Started the game, noticed the text was sitting low on the buttons on the title screen.
Clicked to start new game, noticed there was no spinning galaxy graphic.
Also noticed the Back/Next buttons were only showing the top half of the graphic.
Clicked next all the way through, the loading screen appeared. The robot chick graphic appeared squished vertically and didn't take up the whole box.
Then the game crashed.
I attempted to post this, and somehow failed. No crash log appeared in smart exception. I right clicked the desktop, settings, advanced, adapter, properties, driver, update driver... and it installed a new driver and I rebooted.
I restarted galciv2, stardock and smart exception. Then I noticed there suddenly was a crash log for galciv2.
In the game, I repeated the steps above, and everything was the same as last time. The crash log from smart exception is still there, but clicking "submit exception report" doesn't seem to do anything. So here it is:
