I have to ask why Windows XP. That really isn't a safe option to connect to the Internet anymore.

Does a regular (sp) game of Civ4 work?

Maybe his computer is running FreeBSD or something natively?

Anyone savvy enough to install a virtual machine is probably fine on XP. Especially with the POSReady fix so it keeps getting updates. And since it's a virtual machine, you can just destroy it every day anyway. Or have a different one for every activity. "Load XP Civ4 edition please" "Load XP seedy porn site edition in another window please"

If luddite runs *nix, he better play using Wine, as I did. Vitual machine is slow, there are 3d acceleration problems in VM and XP is not safe.

Starting civ first then loading the mod. Does that make a difference.

virtual box windows xp is because I only have a mac, but I still had the windows version of civ4. And mods don't work on the mac version anyway, right? And windows xp is just easier to install on a virtual machine, and I don't use it for anything except playing games.

And yeah SP works fine.

I guess I'll try installing wine and see if that works better.

Civ stats shows that Retep has PHFT. wink

So it's just a matter of sorting out Luddite's tech issues and we'll be good to go.

About Luddite problem, something like that happen to me and it was because I put the mod in the wrong folder (well Old Harry already said this but I said again just in case)
