Vid Problem - Blue Boxes

[typhus fever]

Well, The first time I ran CIV IV I saw blue boxes where I though the city name/pop # should be. The first thing I thought was that is was statistis. But later when reading the manual adn seeing ingame pictures I saw that I was getting blue boxes where my letters/numbers should be. So today I ran CIV IV again and had the same problem. Im clueless as to how this is. My only guess is that my poor 32mb video card is overworked.

Might be. Post a screenshot perhaps?

I would agree it's a video RAM problem, basically there isn't enough of it. The boxes look like a hollowed out rectangle? There proberly isn't enough RAM to load the font into the game so it displays those boxes instead. Just try running on the lowest settings which I guess you've tried already.
