Hello, I installed the game just fine but it fails to run. I just get a few seconds of the cursor spinning it's wheels then...nothing. No error message and the game is not running in any sense. I am running Win XP.

And no, I am not missing any direct X dlls this time.

Anyone have any idea about this?

Some ideas are in this thread http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1420498

Thanks for pointing this out. I do not think it will help me though as it is specific to people using Win 7 64 bit. Still I will try altering the ini files just to see what happens.
