I just tried with no luck... but here's something else. I noticed that I can have other programs running just fine. I can alt+tab between them and the image is normal. But when I switch to Civ, Ive got madness. Another thing: the title bar on my start menu lists the names of the programs I've got running. For the civ one, the icon is blank (kind of like whenever you delete a file but not the link/shortcut/whatever - it shows up as a blank white file symbol). And... I noticed that through the choas, the screen that keeps flickering by at 3000 mi/hr is not the civ intro movie or even the home screen, its my windows background (some goofy paradise scene).
When I first loaded it, I tried to put the files in a place where Ive got my other games (to keep things cleaned up on my computer). It didn't work so I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling using the default file location they suggest. Still, nothing.
By the way, when I add a line to my civ...ini file, do I have to capitalize? do I start a new line and press enter? do I have to tab like you do in visual basic?
