I recently discovered while installing another game that there was some issues with the new version of DirectX.
I was having problems with the Black Hawk Down game which kept crashing because of a rendering problem which I think many people on here are complaining about with Civ IV.
My first discovery from other forum users (elsewhere) was that installing one version of DirectX over another can sometimes cause corruption (without the user knowing). It is also very difficult to remove and repair DirectX afterwards as the installer from Microsoft is not very good.
My solution to the problem was to uninstall DirectX 9.0c from my machine using a special tool such as DirectX Happy Uninstall 3.7, although there are many different ones available, I think there is a free one somewhere on the internet, I can't remember the one I used, sorry. I think there may be a tool here as well. You have to do it in Safe Mode and you need to have your orginal copy of Windows XP available (it uses that to revert back to your systems orginal version).
Once it is uninstalled you have two options IMO. Download and install the latest version again, this way you have a clean install or download a previous version of the software, I think DirectXb is available here
I hope this is helpful. Let me know if it solves your problems.
