I've installed the game, but when I run it I get the logo, followed by a black screen and nothing else. Pressing Esc quits to windows.

My setup is:

Windows XP SP3
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
3.5GB RAM
DirectX 9.0c

Any suggestions would be welcome... :(

EDIT: I've solved the problem - updating DirectVobSub seemed to do the trick...

Glad you fixed it.
I also had black screen. Vista 64bit, ati card... all I did was change compatibility to run as Win XP (SP2).
