Vdeos when you upgrade
When I recently upgraded to version 2.42, my CDROM can
no longer be read so I can't see the videos of the
Wonders of the world etc.
Has anyone else had this problem and how ccan it be resolved?

At the risk of asking an incredibly silly question it was an earlier version of Civ2 that you upgraded to v2.42, not a Multi player or ToT??
Assuming that the above be not the case - have you upgraded your machine so that the CD drive letter has changed? Have you now got a CD writer in your machine? both of these have been known to cause problems.
If you have plenty of spare hard drive space you might consider using a virtual CD (see for example http://www.cms.livjm.ac.uk/software ) which is how I play all my Civ ...
hope this helps

Yes it was an earlier version of Civ2, and my CD has been changed to a CDWriter and it is my F drive. The link you posted does not seem to work so can you describe how you solved this problem please.
Thanks

Try editing the CIV.INI file in your windows folder
There should be a line reading
WhereIsCD=f:\civ2

Nothing against the videos, but why would you want to watch them more than once?

Sorry Troytea - the link is now fixed - cpp's advice is cogent - check the Civ2.ini file and ensure all references to the CD use the correct drive letter - and check out the vcd software at the link - you don't get the music (unless you use the Japanese version [in Kanji]), but all else including the videos and their inbuilt music work fine.
Cheers, and Good civin'
