Hi there,

I only got this game recently and was really enjoying it, but I have run into a problem that has me stuck. For some reason I can't comprehend, the game seems to start up fine and the load bar/sword thing goes completely red, and that's where it stops. No menu, nothing happens, I'm just stuck at the title screen. There's no music either.

In my task manager it says that the game is not responding, although whether that's what's going on with the game or just what happens when I tab out of it I can't tell.

I've tried restarting the computer, reinstalling DD, running with different settings, running in a different compatibility mode and running as administrator. None has yielded results.

I also get the configuration reset pop up every time I run the game, obviously because I can't shut it down properly and have to ctrl-alt-delete to get out once it is frozen.

I'm running Windows 7 with 4 gigs of RAM and an nvidia graphics card. The game just started doing this a few hours ago, and I haven't downloaded anything new or changed any settings today. It was working perfectly a little while ago--what gives?

Thanks for any help.
