Just downloaded Doom 3 BFG and I get an "Error during initialization" window that contains the following text:

I seem to remember I had this problem way back with the original Doom, but got it to work.

Any ideas?

[tecknode]

PS: Yes, I do have the latest nVidia drivers. Both video and PhysX.

same problem

Watch system requirements in DOOM3 BFG Edition store page.
I think DOOM3 BFG Edition is not support Windows XP.

[Slam420]

Indeed it does not say anything about win xp in the minimum system requirements :/
