Demo won't even start

[Sneaker]

I've got a weird problem with the demo. It won't even start. I installed without any problems. I double click on the icon and then nothing. The game don't start, there is no error it just doesn't do anything. The manual mentions a Launcher, but I don't even see that.

What's going on? I use Windows XP SP3.

Try launching the game directly. Go to the installtion directory and laucnh Amnesia.exe

Thank you for the reply. It still won't start but now I get a black screen for a few seconds and then it's back to Windows.

Attach hpl.log found in "My Documents/Amnesia/MainDemo".

Try setting a lower resolution in the launcher.

What graphics card do you have?

You may also try compatibility mode. Rightclick the Amnesia.exe or it's shortcut on the desktop choose "properties". Click on the "compatability" tab and then choose "Windows XP SP3" compatibility. It might do the trick but no guarantee.

The problem is that I don't get to see the Launcher. I double click on the icon and nothing happens.

I use Windows XP SP3 with a Ati Radeon 3650 (512 MB video memory).
