Failed to launch Win 7 (64 Bit)

[xpyrus]

The process remain in the task manager with about 6 MB used and some cpu time, but no window opens up (or windows task appear).
No error message appears at the screen.

My graphic card is a ATI 5700 series (so this should not be the cause of the problems).
I have a dual screen system, but the problem remains, if I disable one monitor.

Is there something I can do to avoid this error?

Works on that OS for me, and with a 5770, 5870 or 6870.

Hi there,

Sorry it's not working for you. Could you try downloading and installing
the following file and see if that helps.

It doesn't help.
No error message, no game screen - the process is running, but nothing happens at the desktop :/

But, because you've removed the vertex shader requirement with the newest update, the game runs fine at my netbook

[HAO]

hmmm I have 7 Pro x86, wonder if it will work, only $2.50 today. hrmmmm

[xpyrus]

Found the problem...

I've had an adi_oal.dll somewhere in my system. I don't know where it came from, but this caused the problem.
The same DLL caused also a problem starting Dungeons and Dragons
Online. Directly after the login, the game hang with a black screen.

I have win 7 Pro 64, work just fine.

Hopefully this works for some ppl.
But I did not have this file in my system..... Still trying to run this game.

[josanguapo]

I also have the same problem with W7 64 Bits. The adi_oal.dll file
isn't in my system

I had the same problem. But I could make it run by changing the language from Spanish to English. If I put language Spanish the game do not launch. The process remains a few seconds on task manager.
If I put the game in Deutsch or French It appears a Visual C++ Error.

The file affected by changing language is: SteamApps\common\doc clock - the toasted sandwich of time\data_pc\layout\language.lay

[mcvwi623]

There was an issue with the languages in Doc Clock. A new build has just been uploaded to Steam which should fix those issue.

Cheers guys

Thanks!!!!!!
