Try installing as per my Windows 7 thread.
Thank you very much. It seems to be working now. However when I launched Civ 4 it told me, after loading the game, that my machine was below recommended specifications and I may experience performance issues. This is obvious nonsense. This is a new laptop, less then 6 months old. I'll post if there are any other issues. In the meantime, what does that message mean?
