Hello Folks,
I bought a new pc in December and GalCiv2 Ultimate Edition ran great till 5 days ago.
I havent installed or changed a thing in this pc I am aware of either.
Please read the 2 messages I get and see if you can help me. I really miss alien genocide, it helps me sleep at night.
Thanks and God bless, JD
