sure, i know how it feels when you want to play settlers but cant hehe love that game.

First make sure you have the settlers icon on your desktop, just drag it on if its not already there.

Then right click it and click on properties, you should now see a compatibility tab on the top, click it. set the mode to windows 98/ windows Me and tick the box to run it in that compatibility.

Click apply then ok and try re launching the game this should hope fully work for you.

sorry about the late reply good luck

Settlers IV crashes!

Hi all.
I also have a problem with my much loved settlers IV!
I have an Original New Disk, and it has installed on my AMD 4200 Computer Fine!
I can Play the game for a while, then after a coupple of hours it Crashes and returns to Windows screen!
When I restart the Game it works OK for a while, I can save my Games and so-on, then it Crashes again.
Would the Update PATCH you reffer to above FIX this???
I have been told it could be a Driver issue, but why would it work at all if this is the case???
Help!
