Civ 4 Weirdness -- White Screen of Death

I more than meet the recommended spects for Civ4. I installed it and
began playing. It ran *incredibly* slowly, much more slowly than I'd
expect. I quite, restarted my computer, and tried to restart the game.
Whenever I do, right after the load game screen, my scree turns half
white, half black, and my computer locks up. Only a hard restart
works.

I am using an nVidia card, not an ATI card.
