Hello,

i've bought Civ4 Colonization and the installation works fine. When i startup the game, the intros are not shown, only a black screen but i can hear the sound stuggling in the background. When press some key i got to the main screen but there is no menu visible ...

I've updated the nvidia driver (178.13), but nothing changes ...
I've XP with a nVidia 6800GT card. Other applications works fine ...

Knows anyone a solution?
Best regards,
Hellhound

P.S.: I got the same issues with Civ4

i don't think it is the graphic card, you should try and reinstall the game. it might be missing some files.

Post your dxdiag results as an attachment to this thread. (Go to Start Menu, click on Run... and type in dxdiag. Save all information and post the file here).

That will help diagnose if it is a driver problem, directX issue, or possibly something else.
