Everytime I try and open the game file my computer interrupts and says there's a Microsoft problem, or something. How do I play it?
FWIW, I have a brand new Dell with Windows XP.

It's 320 AD and I'm the tech leader, Culture leader and land area leader. My score is currently 476. The only 2 military units I have, I got when 2 cities defected to me. But no worries, everyone loves me and nobody tries to take my undefended cities! :-)
I discovered an extremely useful strategy. DON'T switch governments, heck don't even research them. Pick them up when some other Civ gets them. But stay in Despotism as long as you can. I think I finally switched to Monarchy around 100 AD.
Prior to that, I hardly ever had a city reach a size of 4. If one did reach a size of 4, it was only for a turn or two, then it was back down to size one or two. Was I building Settlers and Workers? Nope. I built enough Settlers and Workers to expand, but most of my citizens were dying from the whip. I built Temples, then Libraries, by killing my people. It kept my cities small, but 4 of the top five cities in the world are mine because of all the Culture I amassed so quickly. The only reason I don't have all five is because Athens got the Great Library fairly quick and has snuck into 4th place. I expect to unseat them before too long.
When I finally switched to Monarchy, I had about 3500 gold and was gaining gold at about 100 per turn with 100% science. In the first turn of Monarchy, I spent almost all of that gold putting Coloseums into almost every city.

My game is GREAT !
6 cities reverted to my culture, I walked over the Egyptians with my friends the Zulu's, took both half their cities. (I took the 2nd last one in exchange for peace, the Zulu's took their last one......... in exchange for "shut up forever"  )
Their fault btw, they just attacked me, evil egyptians 
THEY PAID FOR IT
I own 4 out of 7 saltpeter resources
7 Ivory, 2 furbs 1 whine, 4 horses
Things are great !
Oh, and none of the Egyptian cities I conquered resisted back. My culture rocks !
I try to say: cease playing, you don't make a change

Been having a riot of a time myself so far. I don't normaly play as a non-militaristic civ, so been... interesting. I've been at war with everybody save the greeks and romans (too far away). Chinese, Egyptians, and Persians are dead already, and it is only the early middle ages.
Income is directed 100% into taxation, despotic government. 25 cities right now, so 96 free millitary units. Presently paying out over 60 a turn to support my armies, on top of the free ones. The only research I did all game was to get warrior code at the begining, everything else has been extorted from the AI for peace or picked up in a goody hut.
Roughly a quarter of the map is under my thumb right now, am positive that I can secure a domination victory by the early industrial age.

My score is about 2500 right now, and I could win any of the victory type if I wanted, I allowed the other 2 civs(greece and egyptian) to survive, yeah, I'm a nice guy =) I have the tech and culture advntage. For half the game, greece was the elader, with me in second, but I started a lot of diplomatic manipulation and got everyone(we were 4 back then, Chineese were still alive) to turn against them, and with my tech advantage(I had mech inf and modern armor, while greece had normal tanks and infantry) I conquered all their nearby city and expanded my civ slowly, without much trouble. I stopped before corruption started to grow out of control, and watched the show =) Then everyone except china signed a peace treaty, so we all ganged up against them, and I took most of there cities, which were near my capital, so corruption was not a problem.
The game was really fun(and easy). I did a lot of diplomatic manipulation, all the wars were because of me, and most of the game I was peaceful, working on my culture, and nothing else. When I was ready to attack, I had no problem capturing and keeping cities.
So, which victory type gives the most points BTW? I will probably conquer all but one city, and win by space race, to get the most possible points.
Oh, and it's only 1880 AD right now =)

Here's my save game, Domination win in 1764, score 2548. However, oddly enough it only lists a score in the 1600's before you hit "end turn". I believe it's because in order to win I build 4 new cities (already done in the save game), and territory makes up a big part of your score.
No doubt I could have increase my score by carefully increasing population while keeping my territory under the critical mass needed for the Domination win.
I found this one relatively hard, because I had to found some distant colonies to get Horses and Iron, and I never did get Saltpeter. Or rather, not until I already had tanks and was wiping everyone out.

1870 AD Cultural victory. Mere turns, one I believe, before the Egyptians completed their spaceship.
3046 Score.
Regent rocks. Emperor is cool too. Dissing difficulty levels is retarded. People play on whatever they enjoy. Every civ player should have someone to stand behind them while they play and whisper in their ear "....remember that time you lost on Chieftain....?"
Anyway, we'll see if this holds up. Taking out Persepolis early was the key, I think. Bowmen rule.

Using score as a basis for victory is gay. Max score is achieved by playing anal retentively and NOT winning for as long as possible (i.e., AD 2050). It'd be a heck of a lot better to use "earliest victory" as a yardstick.
