    Steam, Direct2Drive versions don't start on Windows 7 64bit

    Well, it did start once after I purchased the Steam version, but after that, nothing I did could get the game to start. I'd click the icon or select the game in Steam and I'd see the outline of the first window, but then it would fail to display anything and the game window closes. So I bought the direct 2 drive version, same result, the game does not start.....

    All drivers are new, I even replaced the motherboard due to a USB keyboard issue and that did nothing. I've uninstalled a number of times and redownloaded the game again and still nothing....

    But it did run the very first time.....it just doesn't make sense... Anyone have a clue?

    It sounds like you have the wrong DirectX version installed for your computer (32-bit vs. 64-bit).* Try going to either the install package, or the microsoft download site and getting the latest correct DirectX for your computer.
