- Hello all,
-
- this is probably a stupid problem but I hate it.
-
- I tried to install the DOS version of SimCity on my computer and when I
- run the install.exe on the *original* disks in drive A: the computer
- locks up hard. Cold boot time! If I do the installation by hand then simcity
- itself locks up in the same style. No single pixel of output.
-
- Has any1 experienced the same problem? Maybe it is related to DOS 5.0?
- Should I apply the loadfix?
-
- Any help will be appreciated.
-
- Andreas
-
- P.S. SimCity for Windows is buggy crap. For me it crashes with protection
- violations every 5 minutes.
