Hello, I have a new Dell Studio laptop with Windows 7. I installed the game and had a popup that said there were compatibility issues. Which patch is the best to deal with these "issues"? I have BTS to load also, but will wait until this is cleared up.

You will need patch 1.74 for basic Civ 4, but that will be installed when you load BTS, however patching to 1.61 helps the install of BTS. I don't know if you have Warlords as well, I've left the instructions in for that, ignore them if you don't.
Try to follow this order when doing stuff:
install the most recent version of DirectX 9c from Microsoft
Patch your Civ 4 to 1.61 (download it fresh from here)
Install Warlords, immediately patch it to 2.08 (download it fresh from here)
Install Beyond the Sword, immediately patch to 3.17 (download it fresh from here).
then patch BTS to 3.19 (download it fresh from here).
Important: As you run Win 7 make sure to run every installer and patch with admin rights, ie: right click on it and choose run as admin.
