Might you go into a little more detail? Sounds like you're playing the tutorial.

If not, try updating your GPU drivers.

I've installed this game on my other w7 and it worked perfectly. Now it loads the map but the screen is solid white.I put here some screenshots:

Hmm. Try disabling all effects and stuff from the options menu. If it works, then re-enable the effects (one at a time) to find which one is causing this.

I think it's the Post Effect that makes the issue. But could you send me a screen shot or something about the default settings because i managed to forget which settings were on and off Tongue

The game is running with the embedded Intel HD card and not the Nvidia one. Intel HD cards (and all other Intel ones) do not support Penumbra. Only the HD does ok most of the times but with Post Effects disabled. Update your Nvidia drivers to play the game with this card.
