Please make sure that the latest graphics driver for your GPU is installed, and if that fails to help, please set the launch options of the game to:

+fullscreen 0

which should make it open in a window instead of fullscreen. It sometimes helps with things like this.

Not Work!

VanieM, if you have problems starting the game, please create your own thread and post your log file,along with a detailed explanation of the problem you are seeing.
