There is always alt.games.civ3 <smile>.
Having taken into consideration all the excellent things you said you
have already tried, I was thinking this:
Now, your problem sounds a bit to me as though some Windows file has
been corrupted during the course of your hardware upgrade more likely
than not. You could try a sytem restore to a point in time before the
hardware change, or you could try to do a repair install of Windows.
Better still, get one of the better versions of Windows, be it 2000 or
XP - ME is notorious for doing weird-arsed things like you describe.
Very last or maybe first thing I would try in your situation is to
download and try a noCD patch (make sure theversion you download is
compatible with your patch level of the game). If the copy protection is
causing the problem, then that would take care of it (and save a lot of
wear on your CD and CD-Rom into the bargain).
