Hi tahanks.

Attached is the dxdiag file.

When trying to install patch 1.61 or 1.74_final comes "Error 1706"

Did as you say. Reinstalled Civ4 but it didn't run. Then I install Patch 1.74_final and same error 1706 comes. "No valid source could be found for product Sid Meier's Civilization 4. Windows Installer can't continue"
