Solution to WinXP/Blank Screen problem.
I ran into the problem running Civ3 on WinXP with a Voodoo5 where it would play the initial movie then once it got to the game menu my monitor would phase out and not recieve a signal (went to standby mode). Not too sure what the cause was, seemed civ was telling it to go to a too high res or something, yet my monitor can do 1600x1200 quite easily, 1024x768 would be a joke.
After much fustration I decided to try WinXP's compatibility feature. Setting the compatibility of civilizations exe to Win98/Me mode solve the problem and the game now runs flawlessly. Hope this helps anyone having problems! Tys von Gaza - gaza@fragapalooza.com Fragapalooza (http://www.fragapalooza.com) |

The only thing I can think of is to make sure that your display rez is the same as the game's default...I've seen similar things in other graphic problems...that and check for upto-date drivers.
