Cannot get Civ IV to run in Vista Home Premium

[papatodd427]

I installed it with no problems, and patched to the latest available one, but when I try to run it the loading screen comes up for a few seconds then a window pops up asking me to insert the correct CD. I tried using both discs to no avail. I also tried running it in XP SP2 compatibility mode and also as administrator but no luck either. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,

Todd

Same here....

I finally got it to work by downloading a no CD crack.

Crack is not allowed in this forum!

I'm running 64bit Vista Home Premium on a ATIX1950pro with no problems (Vanilla & Warlords)...could it be a Vista 32bit version issue?? maybe it's related to another piece of hardware??? soundcard drivers maybe???

Is there a patch for Window Vista users, or can you just upload the game as it is? Any tips? Should I buy the game and try it on my Win Vista Laptop?
Any clue is much appreciated, thanks guys

No patch that I know of...

You still need to make sure that the system meets the requirements for the game.
