What's the video card? I'd start by downloading and installing dx 6.1 from www.microsoft.com/directx. If that doesn't solve the problem, try forcing the resolution to 800x600x256 colors (8bit). Either do that in the alpha centauri.ini file or by manually setting your desktop to that resolution. You might also try setting your hardware acceleration to 0 by right-clicking on My Computer, selectig properties, then performance, then graphics. Set this slider to 0.
