I've been trying to run Pharaoh on a laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. Every 5-15 minutes the game freezes and has to be shut down and started from the last save - Annoying, but having been through the forums this sound like a common problem on Win 7 with no real solution.
Everytime I make it to the end of the Archaic period (where for the first time in the game the player has a choice of cities) the game freezes everytime the city selection screen appears. This isn't a random freeze like the others as it happens everytime I reach this point.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so do you know a way to fix it? Failing that, does anyone know of any games like Paraoh/Ceasar/etc that will run on Win 7? Thanks.

Hey noticed these posts are a few months old but ive just been trying to get my copy of Pharaoh Gold running on my windows 7 laptop.
I installed the first cd:
(Pharaoh original)
Then installed the second cd:
(Queen of the nile/Cleopatra expansion)
However when i click to run the game it says:
'Unable to load function: FT_Thunk (KERNEL32.dll)'
I know the basics on my computers but I have no clue what file this is or why windows 7 is failing to run it?
Any help or feedback would be great. Thanks.
