Oh yea, never noticed the scratches. Then Again, every now and then, it'll get a bit further, to like Wang Kong. I'll try and clean the CD, I got some of those Disc Doctor things that'll get rid of scratches around here somewhere... Also, like I said, I'm having trouble patching Civ4.

what troubles with Civ4?
which one do you have installed? and how did you install it? i.e. do you have 1.74? and did you install it directly or only after installing 1.61 first?
install this one first:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=3 (that is patch 1.61) there have been reports that 1.74 gives troubles sometimes when patching from 1.00 directly...

Don't ask just play - glad it worked automagically 
make a copy of this file:
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\PublicMaps\Earth_IceAge.CivBeyondSwordWBSave
open it with a texteditor and change one player, e.g.
change:
BeginPlayer
LeaderType=LEADER_BRENNUS
CivType=CIVILIZATION_CELT
Team=0
PlayableCiv=1
StartingX=57, StartingY=49
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
EndPlayer
to
BeginPlayer
LeaderType=LEADER_AUGUSTUS
CivType=CIVILIZATION_HOLY_ROMAN
Team=0
PlayableCiv=1
StartingX=57, StartingY=49
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
EndPlayer
to have one player Augustus of the Holy Roman Empire start at the site where the Celts would start...

in those worldbuildersaves (i.e. scenarios) they are preselected so unlike with mods where you can use all leaders included in the mod you need to change the scenario save file unfortunately.

Ori, have had a similar problem - BTS v.3.13 patch applied to vanilla BTS but right-clicking on BTS .exe says it's v.0.0.1! Go to re-install patch & it says 'Not needed - v.3.13 already loaded'.
Followed your instructions in post#4 above. Complete un-install, then regedit, something like 16 references to Firaxis deleted. Then complete, progressive re-instal with frequent version-checking & restarts. Civ4 vanilla + 1.61 + 1.74 - fine, new game starts, saves & reloads as it should. Then BTS + 3.13 - new game starts, saves & reloads fine. But right-clicking on BTS .exe STILL (or AGAIN) says it's v.3.0.0.1. Re-patching says 3.13 already there! What the...?

don't patch you are good...
for reasons probably not even known to the almighty publishers the 3.13 patch registers as game version 3.0.0.1 - if you see that it is fully and completely patched to date

Ori, thanks for the headsup - it's weird,eh? Have just finished re-re-installing & testing everything again (had a strange problem with BlueMarble - which I LUV! see below). Everything SEEMS to be running OK - Vanilla Civ4, BTS, Total Realism (LUV that!), TAM Ancient Med & Wolfschanze - so far, so good, fingers crossed and all that (this is Civ we're talking about, after all 
- been a mad fan ever since Civ I - how I miss being able to build RR over sea straits, don't miss losing my bombers to fortified spearmen on mountaintops!). Thanks for the help.
Noticed funny little quirk with BlueMarble - could not get it to work. Everything worked fine without BlueMarble, load BlueMarble & everything CTD ??!! By an heroic effort of elimination (hence latest complete un-install/re-install) a solution was discovered. The copy of BlueMarble which I used, & which I KNEW worked, had been stored on a compressed drive, so .exe file was compressed. Right-clicked .exe properties, un-compressed file, then re-installed BlueMarble - works perfectly!! Strange e-world,eh?
One final note on 'v.3.0.0.1' issue - on the now-occasional CTD, error message usually reads something like 'Civ4.exe has caused errors & must close' but every so often you get 'Civ4.exe v.3.0.0.1 has caused errors & must close' - strange,eh?
Thanx again.
