This is on Windows Millenium. The game does work and is quite playable. (There's a full description of that in the "what are you running on" thread).
However, there is one oddity with the the game's option menus. After the game has been loaded once it creates a file "My Documents\My Games\CIV 4\CivilizationIV.ini".
If that file is not deleted then only the first tab of the game options menu will be drawn. The second (graphics) tab goes as far as printing "screen resolution" but is otherwise blank. The other tabs are entirely blank. However, all the option settings are preserved, even after erasing that .ini file that apparently contains them(!).
Has anyone else seen this behaviour from the options menu (graphics, audio and "other" tabs not being populated except on the game's first load)?
If anyone has seen this on Windows XP or 2000 that would be of special interest.
