hello, I don't really visit here too often, but I was wondering if you guys could help me out.I recently changed computers (about a week ago) and am trying to reinstall the CivII triad of CD's that I have (Civ II, plus the scenarios and FW). I managed to get the Civ II cd to install, but when I try to install the other two they both come up reading... "ISINST30 caused a general protection fault in module _IHNS0433._MP at 0016:000001b5..." I'm not completely sure about the language, but both CD's as well as another FW CD (from a friend) come up with the "ISINST30" error whenever I try to install. Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong/why it won't install.
My new system is win 98 (like my old). The only other potential problem I could think of would have been some sort of Y2K problem with the CD, but that would seem unlikely. any help would be much appreciated. -Zen

I would also send a tech email to Microprose, seems more of their problem if this only occurs with civ. |

WE have had this one before - sorry too lazy to find and reference the thread - it seems the solution is to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to remove all background processes except explorer & systray and then install - not tried it myself so can't vouch for it (but like you could not install CiC & FW when I upgraded my machine) ..
