It has been found CD-ROM copies that on Vista and on, it runs better on an installation outside the Program Files folder (like desktop or another drive), although I have never had an issue with 7 for my cd copy.
Some have said this is more of an issue with steam copies as you cannot do much about the installation folder. Switching to steam has solved some of the issues for some, but some with steam still have trouble starting civ3 especially now with Win10. I went and looked for some helpful posts for you and I admit I found less than I remember seeing.Post from Windows 10 discussion:'Okay, maybe I'm getting closer.
Civilization 3 Official Site
I went to SteamsteamappscommonSid Meier's Civilization III Completeconquests and right clicked on Civ3Conquests.exe, then properties and set compatability mode for Windows XP Service Pak 2. The game started but there was a resolution problem. I only saw part of the start screen. The lower right of the screen was missing. I remembered something about changing the screen resolution in the conquests.ini file and tried that (add the line 'KeepRes=1). But then the game wouldn't start.
If I changed the line in the conquests.ini file back to '0', the game would start but, again, I only saw the upper left of the start screen. Anybody got any other ideas?I found something online about the problem, it said to add the line 'Video Mode' to the.ini and set it at =1792, =1600, =1280 or =1152. I tried that and I got the full start screen but it didn't fill up my monitor screen.
I could play the game but I could see my Steam games page on the right third of my monitor. My monitor supports 2560x1440 resolution so I tried setting the number at 2560 but got the same thing, the game didn't fill the monitor screen.' Last resort maybe?From Civfanatics: Atishay Jay -'To all those trying to run civ3 on Windows 10, I suggest you try using an emulator like virtual box to install Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or whatever and then use that to play civ 3. I haven't tried this but there shouldn't be a problem with this process.' Hopefully you find a solution in these posts. Originally posted by:Okay, could you send me a link to one of those please?

I bought it in like 2002 or '03, so that solution would simply entail me repurchasing it from Steam, which I would rather like to avoid.Ive just bought a Win10 laptop so ive been trying to get my Civ3 CD to work, but I seem to be having the same problems as you and others. Im pretty certain steam will work fine but I havent had a chance to try as I would need to redownload it for that computer and I cant atm.I bought a USB external disk drive so that I could try to install Civ. I've also attempted to install several of my other computer games, so far none of them have worked.
