I'm having a really annoying problem with Civ 5. When I try to load up the game, I can only get as far as the screen that says "Click here to continue" right after the introduction video. After some searching online, I found other people who ran into this problem and found that it was related to the fact that I had the text in Windows 7 set to "large text" under the display settings in the Control Panel.
Once I changed that, the game runs fine. Beautifully in fact. But I have to squint to see everything else on my monitor from my desktop to programs like Quicken. With the internet this is obviously not a problem because i can just Ctrl+Wheel Mouse to increase font. But I don't want to have to change this control setting back and forth EVERYTIME I want to play Civ. So I am looking for a solution.
Things I have tried thus far:
-Disabling the second monitor.
-Updating Civ and Updating videocard drivers.
-Making sure the resolution both in Windows and in Civ are the same (1600x1920).
If anyone could offer any other possible suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Primarily it is Quicken that is the biggest problem with the small text font, but I can't find a way in the program's options to increase the text size.
I can live with the desktop text being tiny if I could just get Quicken readable. However, what i would really prefer is a way to fix the problem in Civ 5 since every other program runs perfectly fine with the "Large Text" turned on.
