GalCiv hangs in windows 7

Little help?

from Stardock Forums

 

Hi,

 

I just recently re-downloaded GalCiv 1 (with Altarian Prophecy) onto a new windows 7 machine. It runs fine until a combat comes up, and then the screen appears to freeze. If I press the "windows" key, the combat gets resolved as I drop out onto the desktop, and then when I return to the game I can continue as normal. But it's not really very satisfactory to play this way. Uh, any help or suggestions?

 

Thanks!

sorry - this seems to be in the wrong forum. I tried to put it in the GalCiv forum but obviously I did something wrong - if mods can move it over, much appreciated.

In windows 7 64-bit it plays wonderful but in the 32-bit it will just crash-out  just after I have set what I am going to do all these little squares popup around on the screen.
