Despite my ATI graphics card, the game has worked fine until now. I've played it about 6 times in the last 2 days, and I haven't had any major problems. But now today the game won't run. When I try to run it, the splash screen comes up for a few seconds, the CD drive fires up, and nothing happens. In the Task Manager window, Civilization4.exe disappears a few seconds after the splash. It doesn't even get to the progress bar. I rebooted my computer multiple times, undid the changes I had made (hiding art0.fpk and changing the ini settings to windowed mode), and removed and replaced the CD. It just won't boot. There is nothing in the ThemeParseLog. I'm going to try reinstalling soon if I can't get it to run.
