After a week trying to find out why Civ IV Beyond the Sword is failing to start I determined that is was SP1 which caused the problem. I have every other update installed and the programs runs. When I install SP-1 the program fails to initialize the graphics.
In windowed mode, the graphics initialize but the program stops as soon as the window opens with the main menu.
