Civ 2

After not being happy with any of its successors, I went ahead and got the £5 version from Sold Out Software, which is apparently compatible with Windows XP.

I installed it, but I get random re-boots. I can't reproduce it, apart from the fact that a certain amount of playing time will result in a reboot. I updated my gfx driver but that didn't help, although the reboots have become slightly rarer (that is, it takes more time for them to occur!)

Any ideas what it could be?

No entries in the event log? Blue screen (probably needs to be enabled)?

Thats right, no entries in the event log, and no blue screen. I tried adding compatibility mode for Win98 for the exe, but I still get a restart out of the blue.

I normally check: memory (BSOD normally), heat, power, drivers.

Aside from that, I'm about as much help as a naked guy with a banjo.
