And here we go...
Same problem here all of a sudden tonight, after D:OS updates & several Win7 updates since last time I played. Really, really, REALLY pisses me off no end when crap like ths occurs. I've just wasted half my night on resolving other people's incompetencies & issues, something I do for a living & the last thing I need to be doing on my very few evenings off to play a game I thought I was going to enjoy!
Anyway, I'm an IT pro/vet since before PCs existed, so yes, I've tried absolutely *everything* - run with Steam (checked all local cache/files), direct .exe, as admin of course, full screen/window, etc, etc. Not going to start reinstalling DOS/Windows files/drivers/etc unless someone at Larian or MS wants to pay me for my time. You all have a great day/night also - hopefully better than mine.
Now, off to read my Steam refund policy...

A little more info for whoever screwed this up royally (not that they deserve it): game goes through initial load screen, top blue bar fills to around 90-95% then fade to black & before menu comes up the thing CTDs with:
"DOS has stopped working.
Windows can check blah, blah, blah.
Check Online for a solution or Close program."
Every time.
