You need to hand install WinG from the Civ disc and ensure that you have the latest Indeo and WinG drivers on your machine - these are available from Microsoft and ? sorry I forget...

It's new video drivers you'll need:

The ligos website seems to have removed a link to this file and want everybody to pay $$$ for the newer version, so hurry before this file disappears too, or try http://www.alltheweb.com's ftp search for a file of the same name if it's down already.
Big thanks to Cedric Greene for the link:

You can simply burn your own Civ2 CD's. Make sure it's got a directory called "CIV2" which contains a file called "Civ2.exe" (just like the real Civ2 CD's). You can fill the rest of the CD with whichever music you like.

And I think if you have a no-CD crack, you can just stick in any (audio) CD and it'll play the music while civ'ing.

yeh my civ2 cd dosent seem to have any music when ever I try to have music it says I need the cd in and it always is.

Civ is a very old game - as far as the music is concerned it will only look in the lowest lettered CD drive regardless of any information in the Civ.ini file - this may be your problem...
