civilization iv vista

Every time I try to install Civilization IV on my computer, it keeps saying that DirectX 9.0c June 2005 Edition on my computer, and it does not install. Can someone supply a workaround?
SYSTEM AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 1GB RAM GeForce 7800GT 200GB RAID0 of disk space Windows Vista build 5384

Compatibility mode? Does it work?

Hi It was a long time ago now but my recollection is simply install and play, no compatbility mode involved. I vaguely remember the first time I tried it, I didn't let it install any DX9c files, and this was a mistake. If it wants to install dx9c let it, and it should be right. btw I'm running Vista64 Ultim. Grae

Hi there ... can anybody tell me why my Vista wont allow the CIV to save? Tryed renaming the save games file and nothing.. can anyone help??

If Civ IV asks for directX then I did not install it - just cancel DirectX installation, Vista should have all needed DX files. I play without problems.
