I had problems with some BTS game crashes and decided to reload everything. Reloaded Civ4 vanilla and the 1.61 patch. Game plays OK, except I can't go into Worldbuilder. That appears to be symptomatic of a bigger issue - most of the CivilizationIV.ini data isn't there. I had backed up old configuration data for the games. I copied the old CivilizationIV.ini file to C:\Users\Alan\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4, started a new game, quit the game, and most of the ini file data disappeared. This is all that's left (in boldface):

MinimapTrilinearFilter = 1
; Enable Tree Region Cutting

; Allow Camera Flying
AllowFlying = 0
; Enable Quick Slide Show Transitions
PopSlides = 0
; Set to 1 to automatically end slide show
EndSlides = 0
