Last year I was able to install Civ4 on my Windows 7 machine by following the excellent advice from kiwitt (available in this forum). The program works well, although it periodically drops back to the desktop; simply clicking its icon on the task bar resumes play normally.
I decided to install the expansions, again following kiwitt's advice. That seemed to work, but I can't load either program --
--Warlords: I see the "Load" window for about 5 seconds, but then I see the desktop. The hard drive whirrs for around a minute, after which nothing happens.
--BtS: Ditto, except I never see a "Load" window.
In both cases, I never get any sort of error message.
The Properties for all three shortcuts have the same traits: "Compatible with Windows 7" and "Run as administrator", even though only the Civ4 shortcut itself seems to work.
Does anybody have any advice on accessing the Civ4 expansions? Help!
