When
I try and install CIII, it crashes!
•Make sure
the C: drive has enough free space( 150 to install and at least 100 for
the virtual memory needed to run the program).
•Run ScanDisk
and Defrag on the C:\ drive and on the drive Caesar3 was installed on(if
applicable).
•Make sure
the windows temp file is empty. Usually the directory is C:\Windows\Temp
•Be sure you
have the latest sound and video drivers installed.
•Restart the
computer before attempting the installation. When the computer reboots,
make sure ALL other programs are closed.(This includes desktop utilities,
virus scanners, etc)
•Be sure to
install DirectX 6.
•Set the screen
to 16 bit High Color and 640x480.

Version of DirectX does CIII use?

Screen
freezes/locks up while playing or Game crashes on Level "X"
Make sure you have the required 100 megs minimum free on the C: drive,
Directx6 and current video/sound drivers. Run Scandisk and Defrag on the
C: drive. Try restarting the computer and closing all programs before resuming
the game.
If the game still continues to crash at the exact same point, remove
and clean the CD gently(wipe with a soft cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
Check for any scratches on the CD).
There is also a chance of a corrupted CIII file(s) if the crash keeps
occurring. In this case, back up all your SAV & MAP game files, uninstall
and then reinstall CIII. When the game is reinstalled, copy your SAV &
MAP files back into the
Caesar3 directory, and run Defrag once again before playing.
