There is a problem with the GTK shipped with windows version. I have
the same problem.
You can try this:
* Install VirtualBox
* Install a Linux distribution (ubuntu, opensuse, etc...)
* Install the freeciv distributed in the distribution, or install
from the source.
* Enjoy ;-)
PS: That way you can see the superiority of free desktop over
windows ones...
