Delete the file prefs.ini in My Documents/My Games/GalCiv2. That will reset all of your settings to the defaults.

Not really, that's exactly where it should be. Unless you're running a non-english Windows anyway, in which case it'll be in your langauge's equivalent of those folders.

You could always do a search for prefs.ini and pick the one in the GalCiv2 folder.

try doing a search through your whole computer. Assuming you have Windows XP, go to My computer, click on the search button at the top, click all files and folders, type .ini in the 'All or part of the file name:' box, make the 'look in:' selection My Computer or probably my documents but you can try both, and click search.

Double click it
Look for 'Galciv 2'
Double click it
Look for 'Prefs' (description is; Initialization file)
Right click it
Move cursor to 'delete'
