Alright... here goes.

My game wont start! It installs fine, then when you launch the screen starts to go black and change to the game resolution, but then it halts and a windows error dialogue comes up.

Actually there is a thread with my exact problem over at the DreamCatcher Tech forum. Several others with the exact same issue have posted, but as yet no solutions have been suggested. My most recent post there asked people to post the model of their display adapters. Seems most (including me) are having problems with our integrated Intel video cards that share video memory.

This video card is directX compatible, I have directX 9.0c, everything else seems to be up to spec in my system. I tried disabling my symantec antivirus, shutting down my spybot stuff, shutting down the firewall even (for the love of Pete!). I ended just about every process that was not essential in task manager. I tried different screen resolutions, I tried different compatibility modes.

Based on others' experiences at the DC forum, I'm fairly sure it's that the game - or hopefully just the demo - doesn't like Intel integrated video cards.

Woe is me!
