  • CIV IV won't install on Vista

    I can't get Civ IV to install on Vista. The installer can't find DirectX (10) and wants to install an old version (9). Does anyone have a work around for this?

    ... install the old version. Duh. Civ IV requires DX9.

      I was told that Vista requires DirectX 10, so allowing CIV IV to install 9 is not an option.

                      Actually, Asher was right.
                      “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                      - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

                        I don't doubt that, but I think that bspecter will find the CIV IV department much more interesting than OT when having questions about that

                            The only thing I noticed it that the fonts looks a bit different, it looks like smoothing is applied whereas this never occured on XP.

                              I have Vista and CivIV works fine, you get a warning it wont work properly but it does, actually, the only "thing" you see is a small glitch when loading a save with a little bit of white area in middle of screen around where the loading box messages are, for a brief moment

                              My new rig needed massive tweaking with Vista and Office 2007 which Office 2007 worked after 3 days of messing with now after less than 24 Hrs it kept crashing, so I removed and will reinstall once they get the bugs worked out.. Had to surrender my Radeon 1950 DDR3 as onboard Nvidia drivers were causing problems so had to switch to a GeForce 7950 DDR3. I got an AMD 64X2 5200+ Dual Core Processor with 4 GIGS RAM and 400 Gig HD

                              Do love this rig though
