Error 5006

[Daveman]

Has anyone ever gotten 5006?

Firaxis needs to fix this.
Or at least do a better job of exception/error handling.
(FYI: Out of the 98% of all cases in which I have seen people stating they got this, their situation was completely NOT the situation in which they should receive this error, as stated by the nice ambigous message to go along with its respective error code)

The game will not support on board graphics chips (IGPs) - typically many have the Intel 8 series

Then load Patch 1.52 via

http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/downloads.htm

Before Patching
Windows add/remove in control panel remove Civ - success or failed do the following

Delete the Civ IV Directories in:

- Programs/Firaxis
- My Documents / My Games
- C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\My Games\Civilization IV\ Its a hidden directory if not seen just check you have "show hidden files" switched on

Load from discs
Load Patch V1.52

If still issues - post again with your Dxdiag file

(Dxdiag - Start Button - click - choose run - type dxdiag - hit enter - wait a min - select save all information - post using 'advanced' button below)
