I just downloaded the demo. I've heard great things about the game, but before I buy it, I want to try the demo out. I downloaded it from here and then installed it. When loading the XML, its says "Civilization IV has encountered an error and needs to close". Do you have any suggestions? Thanks,

Its complaining about no sound card in the Dxdiag. Lack of a sound card has caused some issues, a little rare, but it has happened. That could cause lack of support by not meeting the game specs

Otherwise looks ok

Any other symptoms ?

Well, if the sound card is the problem, that's cool, cause I have someone coming to fix it on Thursday. I'll keep you posted.
 
Cant guarantee thats the only problem, or that sound card will fix all - but as you see from the Hardware spec it is a game requirement
