Can't get the Game started

I seem to be getting the same problem that Eric had, however my drivers are new and my settings are on 32-bit. To Recap, i installed the game got a message about my drivers being out of date but it did run the first time, then i changed the resolution exited the program and now it will not re-enter the program. Please Help!!!!

Your monitor is reporting that its max resolution is 1280x1024.  Try changing your desktop resolution to that and then try running and see if that works.  Otherwise, open your prefs.ini file in your My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 folder and set the display width and height to match your desktop resolution.
