SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION III Play The World V1.27 will not launch since WINDOWS UPDATES Sept 10 XP Updates KB890830 KB938464 KB954154 were installed. Anyone have any ideas? Or someplace where I can go for help? I have tried reinstalling.

any errors listed after the failed launch? off the top of my head: was the computer cold restarted? (powered down, and restarted, not just rebooted?) addit: the third update for media player says something about admin rights... IIRC, Civ3 needed those on to play... might want to check your log-on and see if you have them still active... Control panel / user accounts...

I finally got it back up today. I uninstalled PTW & C3 then deleted any remenants that I could find, and reinstalled everything. So far everything seems to be working. The wierd thing was that there were no error codes. Just a black screen and a blinking activity light on the computer.

Hope it works out for you
-- tones (9/1/2009) I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager. And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.
