Corrupt files?

[Poofy]

I just bought Civ4 today after weeks of playing with the demo (Which ran flawlessly), and upon installation and patching, I went to play it and it was fine for a few minutes, then I noticed strange artificating in some areas (Texture artifacts, not video card rendering) so I decided to restart the PC. Upon rebooting, Windows automatically tried to run Disk Check, I skipped it and then tried to play Civ4 again but it said certain data files were corrupt or unreadable. I couldn't even unistall it, so I had to reboot again and let Disk Check remove all the corrupt files, then I went ahead and deleted the application folder. I did all of this SEVERAL times just to see if I had a bad install but each time gave me troubles.

So WTH is with this crap?

Can you please upload your DXDIAG.txt file using the advanced option.

to get the dxdiag file go to start -> run -> type in DXDIAG -> click ok and then select save all information.
