Still have White Boxes instead of text after 1.52 patch

[Darnoc]

When I installed civ on my laptop, the text appears as white boxes, not words. I have seen a few posts here describing the same things, but no one has posted a way to fix it. I have tried just the 1.09 patch, and the 1.52 patch and the problem remains.

I've played every civ version from the very first, including colonization, alpha centauri, all the expansions for civ 2 & 3 and this is the only time I have ever had any problems getting civ software to work. I have a IBM T23, with a 30gig hd, 1.2 gig processor, so those shouldn't be an issue; any one got any ideas?? Thanks
