I have installed GF4 for windows XP. It starts but I get a blank screen. Sounds play and I hear menu highlighting when I move mouse, but there's nothing on the screen.

I tried blindly clicking, and I think I hit start new game. A long bar outline and a small white rectangle appeared, maybe player pic and name? I pressed enter and it dropped to desktop with a windows warning that system has been saved from an error (my Win isn't English, I don't know exact translation).

I had freshly reinstalled directx and graphic drivers. And I'd like not to redownload because I still have dialup.

Hello. This is a question that has been bugging me for a few days.

I noticed that I have been playing G1 for at least 5 hours a day instead of studying for my finals. This usually happens when I first play a CRPG, but never on the second (or nth, as is the case) run. I suspect it's because I'm seriously playing on torment for the first time (with a walking nuke named Smith).

Is playing on torment addictive? Or is playing on torment is like playing a new game, causing me to play so much?
