Haveing a few proble with my gal civ 2 ultimate edition.

1. Purchase hard copy of game from Kalpsal (not sure of spelling) and installed
game. It ran fine with TOA 1.97 as the version.

2. Due to no internet access on home computer, took it into a computer store
and use impulse to update to TOA 2.03.

3. Game will no longer load, I get a black screen for about 2 seconds (no mouse
cursor) and the back to desk top with no error message.

If I manually load Dread lord or Dark avtar these both work fine still, however
no TOA??

I did notice that the start up logo (the screen with the upadte serial, play
game etc) has chaged from A TOA specific one (bluish) to one that now says GAL
CIV 2 Ultimate edition, which has no switch chapter buttons or update game botton
(still has update serial though)

I went into my games and this it what was listed in the debug for twtlight and
have attacheted as a word document.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the 2.03 patch seems quite a bit ahead
of the 1.97 version (which I could still play if I reinstall) but, it did cost
me $22 to get the patch.

Here is a copy of the debug
