Go here to download latest drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_81.94.html Those are winxp drivers btw.

I doubt it is people having issues with "porn" or spyware on their systems. Although that is something to consider... You having an older machine is probably what actually helps you. I've ran Civ IV on multiple machines and it always seems to run better on the older ones. Which is kind of...

Well it's not a total loss... it will eventually work, just sucks right now. I feel your pain, I spent the whole last week trying to get it to work on my girlfriends comp, finally figured it out (shader effects) but stuff like this should be worked out before release. Soon enough there will be...

yah, the graphics might look a bit blurry... but not too bad.

Pallaeon if you don't mind not having the wonder videos playing, you can cut them out to where they do not play. You can also skip the intro screens too. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\&Username&\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Choose the .ini file there and tweak away...

Life, if you were getting black terrain with the newest drivers installed you most likely still will. I went ahead and installed the omega drivers on this machine, and it worked fine except it was slow. When I applied the shader settings I still received slow performance. I went back to the...

btw, I'm just going to respond to the other thread of which you might want to check out, as I posted a bit about your Omega drivers your using.

btw, if it doesn't work the first time also check the option OVERRIDE SHADER SETTINGS. If that doesn't do it, if you installed the OMEGA drivers they are actually older than the new Nvidia ones. Go to their site and install the latest drivers from nvidia 81.94. Then redo the shader...

One step down should be fine. Use the 1.3 setting.

My girlfriend had similiar problems such as yourselves. It came down to tweaking the video card settings. I suggest checking those out and disabling certain features, like trilinear buffering, AA and such. Also move your sliders to performance instead of quality. What kind of video card DO...

most people tend to forget about the woes of games release once its fixed and they can play it. Civ 4 is a great game and I'm sure Firaxis is working hard on getting a patch out. Speaking of sucky releases you should visit the mmorpg pc market... talk about buggy releases. :)

hehe it's ok. Yes it will work fine. And if you don't like the results you can simply return the values to their original settings. The program doesn't actually install anything on your system. Just tweaks your settings.

The Geforce MX 5200 has horrible shaders. Try downgrading your shaders to 3.0 and see if that does the trick for you.

It's a tweak utility to configure the advanced features of your video card. I myself ran it and it worked perfectly. There are a multitude of options to choose from.

Ah.. not sure what they are talking about but I have not heard anything come out of their mouths. Installed on two machines and they haven't said a peep. The units on the map however do talk if you zoom in close to them. Click on them and they speak in their correct language. Nifty.

IF you are having issues with the wonder movies and the intro screens you can turn them off by accessing the .ini file civ uses. C:\Documents and Settings\"User name"\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CivilizationIV.ini

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=141068 Go to this thread for slow performance fix. The virtual memory setting didn't work for me but this did.

You need to include what your system is, like memory, GPU, etc. I don't know if this will help but I posted a fix (link below) for geforce cards for slow performance. But I don't think you are having this problem, still worth a shot though...
