PLEASE HELP! IVE BEEN CIVLESS!!
my problem is-
whenever i start up civ 3, before the intro movie, the screen flickers or like....sort of restarts one time, and the screen goes black for a little while...then the movie shows and when the movie finishes, the screen restarts/flickers and stays black no matter what you do, so you have to restart.

i use winxp, direct x 8.1, 128 mb ram, 777 mghz intel pentium 3 processesor, 29 gigs in my hard drive left, the sound works fine, 52 speed cd rom drive.
my screen resolution/pixels can go up to 1024 x 768 from 800 x 600, and can go from 32 bit to 16 bit color depth.

Please answer as soon as possible!!!

oh yeah i installed patch 1.29, and it still doesnt work.
 
never mind, could the moderator here delete this thread?
i got the problem fixed.
i needed to go to civilization3.ini and added this line-
refresh=60 and it took away my flickering screen, and that out of sync/range stuff
