What was the size of the galciv_setup.exe file? I'm wondering that maybe you didn't get the full file or maybe the download was corrupted. You and I have pratically the exact same computer hardware and software OS so I dont see any problems there.....
I always make sure that I have some form of tribute coming in. It looks like your the Tech's so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to stay ahead of the game on Research.
