I have played this game exactly once - right after I installed it. The game worked fine, and I had fun.

Now, however, when I try to launch it, it gives me nothing but a black screen. No intro, no logos, no sound, nothing. I've tried to enable/disable a few of the settings, but nothing has helped.

I can't comment on this specific case, but if you're having these issues, do check the compatibility settings/ run it in compatibility mode
