I have just re-installed Civ Complete from Steam. The resolution is terrible, and I can't remember how to adjust this. Can someone please remind me?
 
Yup! Add the following line to <civ install directory>/Conquests/conquests.in:

KeepRes = 1

It can be anywhere after the [Conquests] line that starts the file, and will result in Civ using your desktop resolution.

You might also want to add:

PlayIntro=0

Which will disable the intro video. The intro video will temporarily change the resolution to either 640x480 or 800x600, which can take a couple seconds to switch to and back from depending on your monitor. So if you aren't going to watch it, it makes sense to disable it.
 
I did, but it skipped my mind as I've not installed an old game in years, and had got used to steam games, just working.
 
It's a good idea, but unfortunately there's people like me who ask first, and search after.
