I know this isn't a GOG game, but I figured this'd be a good place to ask for help. I just picked up 3 games at the local Goodwill: Descent II, MechCommander, and Call To Power. I got Descent II and MechCommander working fine, but I'm having a bit of trouble with CTP (which is kind of funny, because it's the only one of the three that had an installer that actually worked for me). Basically, I can run the game, but the opening movie doesn't play and the screen doesn't refresh unless I move the mouse over the whole thing (which seems like a fairly common problem with old games, not sure why). I've already tried running it in Win98 compatibility mode, and when I tried to install the most recent patch it said I didn't need to, so any other suggestions would be appreciated.:).
Hi everybodyThis is my first post in this forum, maybe last so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong.i had the same problem with playing for Call to power in my laptop with Windows 7 64 bit, I spend all day to find finally solution but I found. This is not so easy and required some patience and focus.That what I did:1. Download and install virtual box oracle (free virtual machine)2. Create virtual machine for XP 32 bit.3. Install Windows XP 32 bit en SP24. Install guest additions for this installed machine5.
Civilization: Call to Power v1.2. Upgrades Civilization: Call to Power to version 1.2, implementing a long list of bug fixes and feature additions. See 'More Info' for a complete list. New Features: - Hot Seat Play - Play By Email - Hotseat/PBEM Interface Screen - Scenario Pack Interface (description, test plan) - New Scenario Options. Call to Power II made up for the failure of its predecessor and runs second only to the critically acclaimed and innovative Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Call to Power II is an excellent choice for die-hard fans of the Civilization iseries and is definitely worth a try for fans of turn-based strategy games.
Add shared folder with included patch 1.2 for 'Call of Power', 'Direct X' and 'Indeo video codec 5'6. In virtual XP go to My Computer then My network places then Add network Places then 'Next' and choose 'Another network places' then navigate to shared folder described in point 5.6.

It has much better 3D accelation support, in built support for 'XP Mode' (a free XP licence if you have Windows 7/8 Professional) and much better 'just works' integration so the list cuts out about 6 steps from your list. Note that you need a valid XP licence to legally do this. Gazoinks: I know this isn't a GOG game, but I figured this'd be a good place to ask for help.

I assume the indeo 5 codec is the only thing that is missing. Just look for it, download and install it, and the videos will run properly.Greetz.

Setup and Install4. PlayEnjoy.!————————————————-I upload games because I enjoy giving back to the community, it’s up to you to decide if you want to download or purchase the games. GOG.com is a great service offering classic games at low prices with no DRM (that means no CD’s or CD-keys are required for the games you purchase from them!), and not to mention their releases are spruced up to work on newer operating systems which is huge for some older games!If you like the idea of no DRM and have been aching for some classic gaming on your newer computer, I highly recommend you look over their catalog and consider giving them some of your hard earned cash.
