I too am having problems with start up.
Ever since the update.
It showed missing .dll and etc.
When you try to start the game..do you get any screen boxes
that read missing files etc like mine does?
sorry i cannot help...as i too cannot start...it just changes the
resolution of my desktop after showing splash screen then it goes back to my desktop.
sorry ..i hope someone can help.
Is it the update thats the problem with the new microsoft direct x
9.0c that just came out that i downloaded..thats when my problem started.
sad in the air..
