I never had a problem with my old PC running any of the Civ IV games after Microsoft 'gave me an upgrade to Win10' from Win7 however I have run into loads of problems since purchasing my new machine which is Win10 pre-loaded.
Some I have managed to fix after reading posts here and numerous downloads but I am still stuck. I get the feeling Vanilla and Warlords won't ever run but having got over the latest patch and the Administrator Access issues I now find that BTS crashes out on launch because it cannot 'initialize Python'. Colonization works, not perfect but it does run, and that uses the same basic engine so how can BTS not be able to do the same.
So many other things which do work rely on Python I cannot believe the problem lies there so has anybody got any ideas, please.
I forgot to say that these are original CD's from the separate releases back when I was using an XP machine. I never had the problems people report here with Win7 and that was a fresh install plus going up to 64bit!
