I have Dell GX280, dual core 3GHz, 2Gb ram and enough disk space. Graphics is NVidia 8600GT 512 Mb, driver version 6.14, with two monitors. I use on-board sound. Desktop graphics settings 1024x768 85Hz. I play FSX with it as well.

After installing the game, it started with the normal splash screenstill the options screen - and there it bombed out when I wanted to start play, no message, nada, and jumbed back to the desktop. After retrying, it gave a messag similar to "its seem die goem did not close properly do you want to start in safe mode....". To no avail, does not matter what I do, it just does not want to start.

Any ideas???

Hi.
I had this exact same problem.
Oddly enough, this should fix it.
Go to Control Panel > Select 'Classic View' > Open 'Phone and Modem Options' > Select the 'Modems' tab (if it asks for a area code just enter any old thing). Delete all the Modems from that list (If you are using a dial-up modem, don't do this, you probably won't be able to use the net if you delete your modem).
Select Apply and OK.

Run the game.
Worked for me.
