Immediate crash to desktop every time - bananalanders - 09-18-2010

Hey guys,
any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
I have no idea what else to do. I have tried everything, updating drivers, reinstalling numerous times, messing around with the sound devices, everything that was recommended on here. I just can't get the game to start. Every time I click play it loads up a black screen for about half a second, sometimes no black screen at all, then it crashes to desktop and the blackbox pops up.
Pls let me know whatcha think and if you need anything from me.

Go to nvidia.com and download the latest drivers from them, then uninstall you current driver and reboot the computer, then install the new driver. Your current driver appears to be broken as it reports that it does not have certain features, that it for sure is supposed to have. If you have other games that work fine, it is most likely because they use Direct3D and Amnesia is an OpenGL game and therefor is different.
