I've been having a hell of a time - spec of my PC is fine - I had to go and buy a new graphics card (GE fx6200 256mb) and I stuck some more ram in at the same time to take me to 1gb but its been CTD a lot with the normal 4bit colour problem.
More often I get the crash with the music on in the background but the screen goes blank and the monitor repeatedly switching between standby and on (but never with any image on screen) I have to hard reboot when this happens.
I thought I was stuffed but when checking for updates I can't get to NortonIS popup to tell it to let Civ4 access to the web so I stuck it in windows mode - No more crashes!
The only problem is that the mouse pointer is highly inaccurate - the terrain info in the bottom left corner displays the terrain two square to the right and one down to where the pointer is pointing, except if you double click on a city or unit when its accurate! Annoying but playable.
Anyone know how to sort this last minor glitch?
If not I'll live with it - the game is running afterall!
Incidentally why is windowed mode more stable?
Thanks
