And jsalsb, check that you have the full demo. Mine was 327,442,692 bytes, or around 312MB.

*edit* forgot to say that if you want, I can burn a copy of the file and mail it to you. Something about those 300MB attachments seems to irritate many email systems... although I haven't tried the service that Kynaeus mentioned.
Thanks for the offer B. I just looked, and yes that's exactly my file size. I think it downloaded fine, but doesn't like my system. I checked the compatability/minimum requirements, and I think I have everything, except I'm not sure about the audio card. I have a built-in SigmaTel card, and 'dxdiag' says it only does software bufferring, not hardware bufferring. But 'dxdiag' also states: "DirectSound test results: All tests were successful" so I don't know if that's it. I find it unlikely that the whole thing would fail to even start because of a sound issue, but who knows!

I'm going to try the clean boot thingy later. Happy Easter!!
