Civ IV with Vista?

I just loaded my old copy of Civ IV on my newer Vista machine, and it isn't
working. Vista tells me there are compatibility porblems and I should
contact Firaxis. I see in this forum that Civ IV is on the list of games
that work in Vista. I tried loading patch 1.61, but that doesn't seem to
work either.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks,

Jack
 
When I try and start the game, it asks for the correct disk (which is
already in the drive).

I get the same result after I switched to compatibility mode for Svc Pack 2.

I haven't had any problems with Civ IV running on vista, I'm running it on
the utimate 64-bit version with no problems at all. All I did was ignore the
compatibility problems and immediately run the auto updater. Afterwards, it
never showed any compatibility messages, and it's worked with no problems at
all.
 
How do you run the auto updater? When I try to run the game, I get a
message that the wrong disk is in. I've tried both disks and get the same
message.
