Crash on loading screen

[Indrid]

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I'm able to launch the game and I can get through the intro where it asks you to set your gamma correction, then once it starts loading, the game crashes and flickers from the loading screen to the in-game cursor on a black background and cycles through that until the game crashed and I get an error message saying the Nvidia OpenGL driver crashed with error #2 (whatever that means). Just to help in troubleshooting, I'm running a GeForce 9800 GX2 on Windows 7 64-bit and I purchased the game through Steam.

So far I've tried disabling my secondary monitor, turning off v-sync and running the game in different lower resolutions and quality settings.

Hoping you can help.
