On launching, I am almost immediately greeted with this:
---------------------------
GRID.exe - Application Error
---------------------------
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
...and of course nothing happens. This is on an Alienware M11X-R3, happens when I try both the nvidia GPU or theIntel GPU.
I *think* I have a solution for your problem but it's a bit long so bear with me :D
First, access the Windows Recovery Environment
(instructions on how to do so are here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11028.how-to-access-windows-recovery-environment-in-windows-7.aspx )
After you have accessed the Windows Recovery Environment, select the Command Prompt option listed in the above instructions. When you get to the command prompt, enter the following command:
chkdsk C: /R
Let it do its thing and then follow whatever instructions that pop up after the command finishes its work.
Let me know if the above helped :D.
