Thanks Dan, but this seems strange as: 1. It just started happening yesterday, after at least 6 months without any hardware changes 2. Refresh rate is at 85 already. Brightness is in the middle somewhere 3. It doesn't happen all the time. It seems to happen more while there is some...

I managed to get this issue fixed after much hair pulling. It wasn't the fault of Civ3, but was a result of the crappy ATI video card I used to have, which required a special opengl file to actually work. I copied the original win98 opengl32.dll from my wifes computer, and it works fine now...

Yea I really don't expect to ever hear back from them. It sounds like they don't exactly have stellar customer support. However, I did finally manage to fix the problem. After much head banging, the lightbulb popped and I grabbed the opengl32.dll file off my wifes computer. That did the...

(Cross posted to Video forum) Problem 1: Civ3 has to use opengl (how stupid - but that's a different story) and it forces itself to use the opengl32.dll or nothing. Problem 2: I used to have an ATI card and installed the ATI opengl32.dll file. When I installed the newest drivers for my...
