Got Sid Meier's Civilization IV to work on Windows 7 64-bit computer

Anonymous

i installed this game on a native windows xp 32-bit machine then copied the whole installation folder over to my 7 64-bit machine and it ran perfectly.

* note: not sure about anyone else but my original cds are reversed. install is play and play is install. not sure if this helps anyone.

What about my situation? I don't have a windows XP ready PC and I can't seem to fix this headache of a problem!

I wish when Microsoft comes up with newer software, they would make it compatible in all areas as much as possible to avoid these headaches!
