Hey, guys. I recently received Civilization IV as a gift. Yesterday, I tried to install the game and ran into a problem. The game comes as a two disc set and both discs are necessary for the installation process. Well, I put in the first CD and followed the steps properly. Halfway through the installation it told me to replace CD 1 with the second CD. I did this and it continued to install. Right before the installation completed, I received an error from the game. I received the following:

Can anyone tell me what this means? Has anyone else perhaps experienced something similar? Thanks for your help.

I wouldnt know how to help you, but I would recommend you post this in the civilization fanatics forum:

By the way, your theme or skin looks really cool, what is it?

Thanks for the link to their forum. Hopefully I'll get a response soon.

As for my skin and theme, I use WindowBlinds and the skin name is "Cardinal Skin" created by: Lasse Salling (Pixel Pirate). If you meant the desktop background, I got that wallpaper from http://www.digitalblasphemy.com. They have a lot of neat wallpapers there.

I don´t know if its the same but I had an error installing because of an incompatibility with ATI video cards. Don´t know what is your error about, but maybe you´ll find some answers in the "support" section of the official website.

Ok I got the same exact thing on my laptop and I don't know what to do. Does anyone know how to fix it cause it is making me really mad. And also when I play it on my home computer I can do a new game but when I want to load my saved game it says:
Failed to allocate video memory. Please try reducing your graphics settings.
File: /source/main/civilization4/SDKs/gamebryo2_0/CoreLibs/NiDX9Renderer/NiDX9RendereredTextureData.Cpp,
Line:170

Does anybody know how to fix this? please help!
