First, make sure your video drivers are up to date.

Second, open your config.ini file for the game and try setting disableFBOs and fullscreen to True and windowedfs and windowbox to False. The config file can be found in the following locations:

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Zachtronics Industries\SpaceChem
Windows Vista / 7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Zachtronics Industries\SpaceChem
Linux / Mac: ~/.local/share/Zachtronics Industries/SpaceChem

Bought HumbleBundle today and added SpaceChem to steam. Still can't launch it, just like the demo version several month's ago. Screen just goes white and nothing happens. Isn't there a way to fix this finally? Some permanent solution?
