Civ 4 and BTS worked for me. A few minor issues in Civ 4, such as the screen flickering.

have the same problem in being unable to get civ 4 to work with vista home basic. I Installed two patches V v1.61 Patch and v1.74 Patch and game still will not work. Any help by anyone will be gratefully accepted. I got adddicted to this game on my parents windows xp machine. I only got vista, apart from hunting down an old copy of windows Xp is there any means to get civ4 to work with vista??? HELP!!!!

I had Warlords working in Vista last month. Tried to run it last night and I go the directx error. Installed the run time and now I just get a generic error message. tried reinstalling Civ4 and Warlords and it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
