After years pf faithful service, Civ 2 has decided overnight not to run again...
Every time i try to start it, i get:
WinG load failure: error 2.
I'm desperate. I got FW, and reinstalling won't do any good. AFAIK WinG error are windows old application error, and i've also tried reinstalling win, but to no avail...

Anyone knows what i should do? Any help is appreciated.

Donīt know if this helps you, but I received the same error after I installed Civ2. The error was caused by the fact that the installer failed completely to install WinG. My solution was to install WinG manually from the CD...
