Well, now you will need to edit the config file for dos-box to allow it to run with the settings of your computer. I would get d-fend so you don't have to do all this.

Well it should work. Just in case DOWNLOAD Civ once again (maybe you had a bad archive file). At least it works perfectly for me (so I guess yours should work too).

Rename the folder itself? Also be aware that you may be pathing to the wrong game.

The original directory name is "civilize".

DOS names were up to 8 letters max, adding to that a 3 letters extention. The reason of the ~ is because Windows allow you to pass this limit.
