Yes, it sounds like you need to edit your registry entry for civ. However, this can truly mess up your system if not done properly.
Be careful.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried them, but they did not help, the situation is still exactly as I described above. Right now, Civ is a $50 coaster. Does anyone hae any suggestions?

Maybe the registry entries created when the game installs are not being created? Try running some kind of registry monitoring program ( I think Norton Utilities one included ) to see if any registry changes are being made. If they are not, there is your problem! Maybe someone can run this while installing the game and post those so you can import them manually? Just a thought. =)
