Thanks for your help. I'm going to give it a try.

I purchased galciv2 online on my desktop computer. It is downloaded and installed. But I want to install it to my laptop which has no internet connection. (possibly burn installation to a cd) I'm not sure where the installation files are located and exactly what I need. And I would like to get the updates as well. Is this possible? And just to clarify, this is not for shareing with others or anything like that. I just want to be able to play it on my laptop. <b
I turn taxes for military all the way down to zero. (50/50 on research and social) Buy several colony ships Build factory, entertainment, market, research, starports.. I try to pump of population and happyness so that I can max taxes. As well as try to max research as soon as possible. I usually play half of the game with military spending at 0. (rarely build ships, I load up on cash and buy most ships)
If it is the CPU.. I suggest taking off the heat-sink and cleaning it. I try to clean mine at least twice a year. (probably should clean it more)
Go into a planet Make sure no priorities are set(social, military, research) Build a buidling. Now it might say that it will take 60 turns to build this building. Set priority to social. (might say 7 turns now) turn off priority again (instead of going back to 60, it will go to like 8) So now everytime I build something, If I don't switch priority on and off I will have a ridiculously long build time. This could be old news, I don't keep up on the forum
