Problem running Civ IV on win7 64 system

[utzlygutzly]

Hello all,

Recently, I installed Civ IV on my new computer.
The computer parameters are:
Processor – Intel i7 950
Memory – 6 Gb
Graphics card – Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 with 1 Gb memory
Operating system – Win 7, 64 bit

DXDIAG info is attached.

At first everything worked. Though I got a message saying that there are compatibility issues when I chose 'run program' the game would start and worked properly.
Then something happened and the game wouldn't start. I installed what I thought to be the latest patch – ver. 1.74 – but things deteriorated. I was missing some DLLs and installing them didn't improve.
I uninstall everything, re install Civ IV but it never finish loading.

Can someone help please?
