Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago [Solved] Penumbra not loading, Critical Error from the EXE!

Note: I have posted this in the Tech Demo Forum, which I have just realized is not the correct location for it. Same name, different forum. I am unable to delete it due to lack of permissions.

The above, as seen in the "BLACKBOX", is stopping me from running Penumbra. A friend of mine has started work for this company and I would love to give this demo a run through as the videos have shown some really interesting environments and abilities.

I'll also note that the title has never launched and no files what so ever have appeared in My Documents except for the folders themselves.

Please help!

Computer Specs:
nVidia 8800 GTX (640MB DDR3)
2GB of 800Mhz DDR2
E6700 Intel Duo-Core Chip @ 2.66Ghz
Windows XP, Service Pack 2
Most up to date Video Driver.
Desktop Resolution: 1400*1050

Blackbox is a tool for catching crashes. We use it as a debugging tool.

Works now. I thought I had updated, but I hadn't.
