So i have a have the demo as well as the full game and both of them are not launching in a fresh install of XP. The same game works with VISTA on the same config. Did a fresh install and have the lastest CAT 8.7 drivers still the same issue. What could be wrong.

Config:

8400 on Stock

2 GB RAM

XP SP2

ASUS P5B Dlx

HD4870 on CAT 8.7

TIA

well, for me the full version, it displayed some rror that one dll file is not found. dloaded that from the net, was ~40KB, pasted it in grid root directory and since then its working...
 
Dirt barely works on my comp which is also a codemasters game

Few frames of the intro vid come on, then hangs

upgrading to 1.1 didnt help either
 
Yup i have kapersky... And to the dood who said something abt Dx... Well it doesn't matter weather i have it installed or not... The game automaticlly installs it for me... And also it works in Vista and not in Xp... On the same config...

is ur system32 files proper coz i recently reinstalled coz ma svchost.exe was effected wti a win32 trojan ... so ma game used to crash in middle..:S
 
Try adding it to Kaspersky's trusted application list. Oftimes, Kaspersky will pop up a query in the background, when an app tries to access another app etc, and if you haven't added it to the exceptions list, it will keep blocking access.
