Barely meets the minimum spec? Pshah. I've been running (multitasking, in fact) SEIV quite happily for months on a P133 (Win95b.)Before that it was working perfectly well with just a P90.

Just because a computer has a bigger number attached to it, that doesn't necessarily make it a better machine. The Wintel [BIG NUMBER] conspiracy strikes again...

Besides, SEIV is not a particularly processor heavy game. With no real time stuff to worry about I imagine you could get it running on a 486, if you could meet the minimum screenmode requirement. Just takes longer to process the turns, that's all.

</RANT>

As for this specific problem... could it be the savegame file? Try the same file on a known good installation of SEIV. Could be it got messed up in transfer. Also, try some different savegames, ther are a few kicking around this forum if you look.

I think 6x86L doesn't mean anything. It's just like in my old Cyrix 133 MHz 6x86-P166. The P166 means that its not 166 MHz but pretty close.

--- 100% useless post ---
AFAIK 6X86L is one of the old Cyrix CPUs. According to my M/B manual it's different from the older 6X86 since it requires dual voltage (3.3/2.8 V). I don't know anything more about it, sorry ;-)
