I'm not sure if this problem is related to the launching problems others had with their games, but I can't seem to get a game started. I did have the problem of the game crashing after that fading splash, but then I tried running as with a new admin account and it got me as far as the loading splash right before gameplay actually starts. At this point the program quits and Windows gives me an error report. I am running:
Windows XP
Pentium 4 HT
2GB ram
Nvidia Geforce go 7800 gtx
a dvd rw
two striped 60 GB Hard drives
The logloader file read as follows:
