Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I have downloaded the free demo and when I try to launch it on steam I get a black screen which then closes and for a very short time I get an error window which closes before I can read it. I think it says that it is collecting information on the error, but it doesn't really do anything. I have nothing to update on my system and I am on Windows 7. My driver is Intel® HD Graphics with a Pentium chip type and the date on it is 24/06/2010 so I think I am able to run the game on it. Here is the HPL, which I think is also okay from what I have found in my search so far. I have no idea what to do! From what it says in teh hpl i think it's the graphics card but I thought I could run it.
