Hi Robb Reis,


See if downloading and installing the game patch resolves the problem:

This was written for WIN2K, but it may also be applicable for WINXP:

"Do *not* install Video for Windows during CivII setup. If you did
this already, delete Ir41.dll from Winnt\system"

Since you're running XP, it would be found in Windows\System, not
WINNT\System. If you're hesitant to delete the file, you could simply rename
it to something like:
Ir41.dl_
or
Ir41dll.old
