Game Not Starting

[DJ Knight]

Have you installed any updates to the game? It should not ask for a serial number, so uninstall the game completely, make sure to also check Program Files and manually delete any Amnesia The Dark Descent folder that might be left there and also delete the My Documents/Amnesia/ folder. Then install the game fresh and see if that helps, possibly make sure to run the installer as an administrator.

There are no shortcuts pointing to shortcuts etc, the shortcuts point directly to the launcher.exe. And super_secret.rar is a bonus file you can unlock with the correct password.

Well I performed all the tasks above with the same outcome. Trying to be creative I changed compatibility settings within launcher.exe and amnesia.exe by disabling desktop composition, visual themes, & high dpi scaling. Even tried various OS to no avail but never the less, here are the results.
(This is the result with all Drivers up to date, AV & Firewall OFF, and everything is being ran "AS ADMINISTRATOR")


When I run as administrator the Launcher.exe I get windows 7 app crash report:

When I run as Administrator the Amnesia.exe I get the BLACK BOX Crash Report below:
"Exception Reason
Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION in module nvoglv32.DLL at 001B:58BE860A"

If you will tell me how to give you the stack trace within that report I will be happy to supply it. Also I will be attaching the HPL.LOG file and DXDIAG.TXT File which look pretty much like the last two I submitted.
