Hello,
A great community. I was introduced to CIV as teen, I'm 32 now...and been a fanatic ever since. CIV IV seems to be the best of the bunch, but I am beyond frustrated with my inability to get it to work on my relatively new laptop, purchased last year.
So here's the deal...I've been through all the posts and basically confused myself with all the suggestions. I am a smart guy and can follow directions, but not hardware literate at all, and having trouble with some of the more esoteric details.
I will link to my computer so you know what system I have.

I am willing to reinstall and start over for a solution , so you can begin your solution with an uninstall and reinstall.
I used the .dll error fix and it got my game running when I installed (again). But as usual when my empire got large and complicated here came this error:
File:\source\main\civilization4\SDKs\gamebryo2_0\corelibs\Nidx9renderer\Nidx9vbmanager.cpp,line:1019
I know that this has been discussed. I reduced my settings, tried downloading newer/different drivers and am now frustrated. Do I need 2MB of RAM instead of 1MB or can I get this working.
You all seem very helpful here, but to get someone motivated I would like to offer a $20 reward to the person who gives me the clear instructions to get it working, payable upon completion of a successful game. I can pay thru Paypal or Ultimate Bet or Full Tilt Poker, for any of you who like to play online too.
Thanks...
Matt
