My map scrolling and general animation is suddenly very slow.

The background:

I was playing a game of Fall from Heaven 2 on a standard size Terra map (which is probably the equivalent of a large map). FFH changes the map tiles as time goes on (hell terrain spreads, deserts catch on fire which is a lot of animation) so it wasn't so odd that by turn 400 or so the map scrolling on my game slowed down.

So I started a new game on a standard size map (not terra). Same slow down. Restarted the computer and tried a new map. Still slow. Started up an unmoded BTS game (which uses a different title set from FFH). Same issue.

Also tried lowering graphic settings and restarting. No dice.

The glowing circle under my units also seems slow.


Any ideas>

Just so I'm clear, the game was running fine. SOmetimes I would get slow down late in the game, which isn't usually when playing w/ mods, but it was fine. Now it is really choppy even at turn zero. However, the city screen, demographic screens, and other non-map screens are fine.
 
Has your computer slowed down in general or only CIV? If not only CIV, I would suspect that you have acquired a virus.
 
I haven't noticed any other slow downs. But I only really use Civ and IE on this computer. Running my security software is probably a good idea. Thanks
 
I fixed this by tearing out Civ IV and reinstalling it.
