Civ IV can't find disk
After installing from the 2 CD's and installing the latest v1.61 patch, I get
an error when I try to start the game from Disk 1 stating that it cannot find the CD to run the program. This is the same set of CD's that I use under Windows XP SP2 on the same dual-boot laptop. I even set the Compatibility mode to run as Windows XP SP2 and checked the option to run as an administrator. My user account is a network account with Domain and Local administrator rights. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix for it? System Dell Inspiron 8200 Intel Pentium M 1.8GHz 1GB RAM nVideo GeForce 440 Go 64MB (Dell Proprietary driver) (Wishing I could afford an XPS but the Army doesn't pay enough) -- SGT Brian Ladley U.S. Army Joint Air Defense Operations Center IT Automation NCOIC

Civ IV can't find disk
I had the same problem as you but was able to get the game working using a
nocd crack. You should be able to find one searching the web.

Email the makers of Civilization and urge them to use a less restrictive copy restriction (or none at all) to ensure that their games are compatible in multiple operating systems and encourages users to buy their products. -- --- ///Terje Alexander Barth \\\///
