I recently bought this game, and I'm currently having issues stating it. I push play, I get a black screen then it goes back to whatever I had my pc on last, with it int he tool bar. I click on it, black screen, a drumming sound, then it goes back to the toolbar.

Same here, I don't get the drumming sound. just an invisible box in the top left of my screen that my mouse is stuck in until I alt-tab out of it. Game doesn't even show up on task bar

Operating Software and Hardware?

Aren't you a computer psychic?
