also civ 4 via steam doesn't work with win7 64

I hadn't tried this since upgrading to Win7, but I just fired it up no problem. You using vanilla or BTS? Interestingly, it gave me this message

Despite the fact I'm running well past the minimums.

I'm running a dual-monitor setup, HD4870, and sometimes, maybe 10% of the time, that I move my mouse cursor between screens, it graphically corrupts. I'll get a quarter of the mouse cursor repeated four times, or something similar.

Moving it back and forth between monitors usually fixes this, but I'm stumped why it's happening in the first place. SFC says all files are good.

I have the same problem since upgrading to Win7 64, didn't have any issues in Vista64.

If you wiggle it between the screens it returns to normal cursor. I bet it's an ATI thing because I'm using a 4890.

Everyday I find something new to love about Windows 7.

At first I thought the green sliver was a graphical glitch, but as it continued to grow, I realized it coincided with the progress of my Steam game download. Pretty snappy.
