axl: I was really excited to play this game again as I never got to finish it back in the day, so I pre-ordered it here as soon as it became available (despite still having my original copy, I'd much rather play it with an updated control scheme and proper compatibility). I ran into a problem before I could even start, though, namely it doesn't start at all. When I click on the .exe, the game tries to run (I see it lingering in the task manager for a few seconds before vanishing completely), but ultimately it doesn't, without giving any error messages.

My relevant specs are:

CPU - Intel Core i3
Memory - 4 GB RAM
Graphics - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
OS - Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (with the latest updates)

(It's a laptop, by the way, if that matters.)

Tried running both as an administrator and a normal user. Any idea? Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!
