I am hoping to see if anyone can help spark an idea or point me in a direction. I installed Windows 7 ultimate, fresh install. The game downloaded and installed with no trouble. I start the game, the login pop's up. I sign in, the screen goes to black for a second then.. desktop. The TDM stays running in the task bar, but the game disappears. I have uninstalled and reinstalled .net 1.1 and update. I have removed Avg from the machine, in case that was the trouble. I uninstalled and reinstalled nVidia nForce network card driver. I have updated my video drivers to the latest non beta driver and then downgraded it to the oldest non beta. All have the same result. Oh, and I did try the compatibility modes for xp sp 2 and 3, vista sp 1 and 2 .. and visual themes, desktop composition, and scaling disabled.
Sorry if this next part is long. After reading several other posts, I''ll pre-post items that seem to be asked for.
