Driver failure durring map loading on Civ IV

[Lord Winter]

When ever I try to load a map on civ IV I get an error message saying that the Ialmarnt5 display driver has failed. Everything then goes blurly. Is there anything I can do about this or do I need to upgrade?

It looks (http://www.eddieoneverything.com/windows-xp/how-to-fix-the-ialmrnt5-display-driver-error.php) as though (http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic20070.html) you aren't the first person (http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=58676) to have problems (http://www.besttechie.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7402) with that driver.

Judging by this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/archive/index.php/t-145475.html), the first thing you need to do is update your driver. After that, sacrifice a chicken to the fickle gods of integrated graphics, and let us know how it went.

I know it's completely OT but that just reminded me of a quote from a SimHQ article:

Once the installation process was over I fired up the program and was met with the opening screen. Now, I know what you are thinking: I didn’t defrag, or reboot, or sacrifice a chicken and put the feathers in my hat and turn three circles while chanting “system fast, system fast, frame rate stutters in the past..”

It worked

Ritual sacrifice, is there anything it doesn't solve ?
