Hi, I can't seem to find this exact problem on here, and to admittedly I'm a little baffled.
Everything installed correctly, and I did install the Direct X requirement at the beginning of the install.
When I go to start it up, I get the little loading box first, then it goes to a blue screen where I can here the videos in the background. I can click to go through at least the first video, but I never actually get to see any of them.
Then it goes to what I assume is the start up screen where there is supposed to be a menu. All I can see is the Earth with a cloudcover spinning over it and things appearing on the earth (I assume they are settlements growing, or bacteria) and the Title Civilization 4.
It seems there might be some kind of menu there, I just can't see it. I can click on some things it seems, but it always just comes back to this blank screen.
I have a 2.8ghz AMD with a Gforce 5200 256mb Asylum card. I have 512mb 3200 (400 mhz) RAM. I run Windows XP Pro SP2 updated 100%. I also have the very newest video drivers.
Please let me know if you need further information. I am very frustrated obviously that I can't play the newest edition of my favorite game so I most certianly will be sitting right here at my computer until I get it figured out. Please email me or reply here, or call me, or IM me, or HAM radio me, or whatever, any help is MUCH appreciated!
