Hi, everyone. I successfully installed Civ 4, Warlords and Beyond the Sword when I got this computer up and running. However, I had to uninstall it because it was installed in some weird hidden file I could not access. This is where the problems began. I started getting Cyclic Redudancy Errors on CD 2 of BTS. After much frustration, I got the game exchanged at Best Buy. I tried it. This time I got the CRC error on the original Civ 4 CDs. At that point, I figured it's the DVD ROM so I installed it on my second one. Installation went smoothly... but now when I click "play," nothing happens. The shortcuts don't work. Not for Civ 4, Warlords or BTS... any ideas?

I will now do this the formal way:

-Game does not load when I click start on autorun or double click the shortcuts (also when I go into my Program Files and double click on the original application).

-No error messages. Nothing happens. I expect the program to run as normal when I click play.

-Latest patch is installed.

My computer:

e-GE-Force 8800 GT, P5N-e SLI motherboard, Windows Vista 32 Bit...
