Black box error at startup

[pneumonia]

First of all

My machine is
Windows 7 x64 SP1
4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Core i3 M330 2.13GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450 1GB Gfx card

The system is

• Completely updated through windows update
  
• Graphics drivers updated
  
• Visual C++ runtime installed
  

All my other games are running smooth without a single glitch.

When I run Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, the screen remains black for 10 seconds and then comes back to the desktop with a weird "black box" dialog box with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module aamfp.exe.

Yes I have reinstalled it 7 times and directx and every possible thing.

Even weirder, as I have googled about a file called hpl.log, opened it and everything is ok except at the last there is this error called

"ERROR: Failed to load data from cloud, could not connect to RemoteStorage

WARNING: Could not find language file entry 'WelcomeMessage05"

I really want to play this game but fed up with this. PLEASE HELP URGENTLY!!!!

Thanks in advance

Is the game from steam? Most probably a background program or service is not allowing the game to run. Try closing everything first. Also, make sure you have the latest AMD drivers installed from their support site and not from Windows Update.

As far as I see it, the GPU and CPU you have should be more than enough to run this.

Radeon HD 6670 2GB DDR3
AMD Athlon II X2 250 (OC'd to 3.6GHZ)
6GB DDR3 1333MHZ

And I can run this at a solid 60FPS with some things turned down, so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to. I personally use Driver Booster and solidly updated more things than I knew of.

Oh, and try to watch your Firewall. It usually interferes with Steam. I had that happen to me. And watch out for DEP (Data Execution Prevention). I dunno if that has any say in your situation, but I know some things weren't working finely due to DEP before in my case.
