Sorry, somehow I triple posted. My work around was using 1.0X.

AHA!!!!! Well I disabled everything, turned off anti-aliasing and dropped my resolution to the lowest 1024x768 and was able to load a Tiny universe with three races. The colors are a little bland but the game starts. I haven't made it far yet until I can maximize performance. I think it was the anti-aliasing or the resolution. More tests are on the way. So there is hope for those of us with old drivers.

First time booting up, I'm told that my video drivers are too old to play, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm running a Pentium 4 Toshiba laptop 2.0 Ghz, 1 Gig Ram, nVidia GeForce 460 Go 32 MB video ram Direct X 9.0 C. I appear to meet min specs according to the box. I'm one of the ones that had the famous black terrain bug with Civ4 that was fixed with the 1.52 patch (but still have the stuttering sound during movies). CG2 boots fine and I can pick a race and "start the game"
