GRID demo will not launch on my computer.

I downloaded and installed the demo for GRID. When I click on the icon to start the game, nothing ever happens. The game never opens. I tried clicking on the executable file in the game folder instead of the icon, but it's the same thing. I even created a launch analysis file and sent it to tech support, and they told me that they couldn't find any compatibility problems.

I was thinking about getting GRID on the PC because it won the head-to-head on IGN in all catagories and I want to try the demo. If I'm having this problem with the demo, will the full retail version do the same thing?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

My specs are: dual core 2.66GHz, 4 Gigs of RAM, GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card.

I have about the same specs as you, but the demo works for me, so I don't know what this could be.
I remember though, a while ago, I had some kind of game or demo (not sure) that didn't start either.
Double-clicking, pressing Enter.. nothing worked, and it didn't even show up in the task manager.

May I ask what OS you have?

And are your 4 GB's of RAM memory all of the same brand?
Because if they are not all from the same brand, it can give you a lot of trouble sometimes.
Just recently, my PC crashed very often and I couldn't patch anything.
The problem was that I had 2 different brands of RAM memory.

I have Windows XP home edition with service pack 2. I don't know about the memory thing. I ordered the computer from the Dell website, so they built it. It's a Demension XPS-410.

I'm starting to have problems with several of my games. Now, Splinter Cell Caos Theory won't run anymore. After it goes through the disk check, it gives me a error message saying that SplinterCell3.exe may have been changed, corrupt, or has a virus. This is impossible. I haven't modified any of the files in any way. I even reinstalled it from the disk, and I get the same thing. Also, Return to Castle Wolfenstein won't run anymore. When I uninstalled that one and tried to reinstall it again, I got a message saying the game is still on my computer, even though I uninstalled it and deleted all the files. I also can't play Red Faction anymore. The screen just looks like a garbled mess.

This is the one thing that sucks about PC games. They just decide to stop working for no reason at all. Yet, they are awesome because you can modify them to cheat. I wish there was some way that Pelican could make a functioning Codebreaker for the PS3. They could make it where it would automatically be disabled if you are playing online so that the online people wouldn't have a fit.

One more thing. I also have a 1440 x 900 widescreen monitor. How do you keep games that are 4:3 from being stretched on the monitor? When I go to the menu on my monitor, the 'Positioning' menu won't highlight, so I can't get into it. There is no option to switch between 16:9 and 4:3. I'm asking because most of my older games only support 1024x768.

I am having the same problem exept I was playing mine last nite.

Today I tried loading & exe wont respond, even after reinstalling.

I dont want to reinstall graphic & sound drivers is necesary.

Is there a config file that can be deleated? Ive tried all of them

Any solutions out there?

Was thinking of picking it up, but i dont know if it can stack up to Forza2 or DIRT.

Give up on it. It won't run on that graphics card even on the lowest settings.

Sorry :(.

I'm having problems to! my Specs are

Graphics : Plug and Play ATi Radeon 9550/X1050 Series

RAM : 1.00 GB

CPU : AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2500+

to the tc, i'd try updating video drivers, i think the most recent beta ones are 185.20, the latest full release 181.20, also update xp to sp3, it should work after that.

to the bloke who posted above me, you need a new computer. nothing else can be said.

same problem, how can i fix it?
