Game doesnt start Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Whenever I try to start the game my screen flickers black a couple of times. I have updated my Video drivers, got out of 3rd party programs, uninstalled and reinstalled, used a different CD-rom drive, changed resolution. Any suggestions?

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Its usually at 1280x1024 but even when I change this to any of the others it doesnt make a difference.

Sounds like video drivers. Does the card support DX9?

If you post your configuration and the operating system that info might help.

Tim this is on the discontinue list for ATI. I would be vey surprised it it was DX9 compat. The first card they made that was DX9 was 9800 AFAIK. I have no idea if that is the problem, but it could be it.
Go to the ATI page.
