I upgraded from 8. Forgo the loading from disks if you are uncertain. I've got Civ 3 from Steam, and it runs just fine for me. No tweaks were needed. I used a bit from all of the suggestions and everything is working fine from a Disk Install Civ Complete.
I installed under Windows 7 first and after confirming that it worked fine, let Microsoft handle the rest and everything turned out just fine. Thanks again to all. WeirdoJoker Prince. The workaround for Win8. Any ideas, or should I just break down and get the Steam version? Or go back to Win8. Did you ever try using the No-CD patch or did you just always manually enable the secdrv. I also don't think you ever mentioned where you had the game installed either.

When I tried to restart, I got the usual 'Do you want to allow this program to make changes?
It was rather reminiscent of what happened with the DRM'd Civilization3. Any updates from MS usually filter down from the most current OS to the oldest, so I can't imagine there being an update only on Win8.
However, it'd be easy to check. Pull up all updates that occurred between the last time the patches worked and when they stopped working and you could look-up what each changed and uninstall ones you think might be causing a problem.
