"Your machine is below recommended specifications." Win7 64bit

[Varelse]

I am getting an error message that says "Your machine is below recommended specifications. The graphic settings were altered to accomodate this, however, you may experience performance issues."

And I do experience performance issues. If I try to load a game that is in the medieval era the game crashes. If I try to load a game from the ancient era, it starts up ok, but all animations are turned off and the lowest graphic settings are displayed.

I have a fairly new graphics cards (nVidia GeForce GTX465) which ought to be compatible with a game live Civ4.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it?

I know you can toggle the warning message off.......but that doesn't really solve the problem, it just allows you to try to ignore it, right?

I ran DxDiag.exe and saved the results if that helps.

Also I have the BAT mod installed, but I get the error whether I use the Mod or not.

I previously had the GeForce 8800 GTS video card, and everything worked fine. Then, about 2 days ago I started getting the warning message, and then last night the video card fried out on me. I replaced the video card with the Geforce GTX465 today....my other games work great but I still get this warning when I try to play BTS, with or without the BAT Mod.
