You are letting Take 2/Firaxis get away with murder.
You all are desperately trying to tweak BIOSes, reconfigure windows, mess with video cards etc etc in the hope of finding a combination that can run this technically appalling game.
You should not be doing any of this! You should be giving Take 2/Firaxis hell for giving you garbage in exchange for your money.
There is no-one in the world who wants to play Civ 4 more than me, but I will not have rubbish like Civ 4 on my computer.
I might buy Civ 5 if it is released by a half-decent company (Sierra perhaps), but I won't be buying any more rubbish from Take 2/Firaxis.
