Hello!
Just bought Civ III - Vanilla.
Installation seemed to go quite smoothly.
When I start the game, I can clearly see the 'Register" and "Read Me" fonts.

When I click the 'Play Civ II" prompt, I get a completely scrambled screen. Then, it clears up and clearly shows the introductory 'movie'. When the movie ends, the video gets all scrambled again. It's so scrambled, that I cannot even successfully do a Ctrl + Alt + Del to exit OUT!

I have Direct X 8.0, so that does not seem to be the problem, and the clarity of the intro movie tells me that the problem is something else.

Can ANYone help me please? Pretty Please?!
 
well when i installed civ 3 it came with direct 9.0, so you should get that version. and the video for me always shakes.
