I have Civ installed on my work machine which previously just had a Nvidia 5200 PCI (not express) installed. Yes... I said 5200 PCI. While playable it was slow and tedious at times.
So I got my hands on replacement card for free... 5700LE AGP. Figured it can't hurt any to toss it in there so I did. Now when I launch the game the opening movies and "adverts" play but I can't see them... just a blue screen. I can hear them though.
Once I get to where the menu should be I get the spinning globe backdrop and the "CIVILIZATION IV" banner/logo above but there is no menu displayed... yet it is there.. I can still click and hear it doing what it should be doing... just I have no idea what I'm clicking on.
I've uninstallled, reinstalled, updated to latest video drives but nothing at all works. Same result.
Any suggestions?
