My first guess would be that you need to install/update the Indeo
video codec. Been a while since I installed the game, but I think it
plays a video at that point, and if you don't have the right drivers
(which if you have WinXP would be the case, by default, unless you've
downloaded/installed them elsewhere), it won't play. I don't know if
it would crash, but it is possible.
Second guess with Civ2 original (1.00), you need to manually install
WinG (on a folder on the CD), because it doesn't come with Windows (or
DirectX).
A third universal problem is a bad/dirty CD or drive -- I've seene
that happen with other games, no way to figure out why it won't work,
because the installer isn't designed to cope with disc errors.
