I saw this problem mentioned before, but nothing really happened with the answer. At best the person who asked was told their hardware wasn't up to par.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT (PCI Express) which means the requirements. I have a 3ghz P4 and 1GB ram. My computer ran the game PERFECTLY for a while. I tried to load a game with the realism mod and the game never loaded, it had loaded the last few times I started playing. Those times the save was like a 700kb save, now it's a 900kb save. But that still shouldnt' be a big issue because there was almost never lag and it is a 12 civ huge archipelago game. Well I tried to get it to work a few times and failed. Then I restarted my computer, and now whenever I go to run Civ 4 I get the initialize renderer failed message. I just reinstalled DX9c and go the same message...

But here is my dx diagnostic.

I was actually able to do a system restore, and it's fine now.

Edit - In my game I set the graphics lower because it was going to slow for my tastes, and when I restarted it happened again...odd...
