Thanks for the reply. My video drivers are most definitely up to date, using Nvidia's reference driver with it set to auto-update. I'm not certain my sound drivers are up to date, but based on the error messages, I am suspect they are not the cause.
It's just puzzling as I look through the Steam forums and see people there as well running it fine in windows 7. Hugely frustrating, more so because I purchased it with hopes of no issues post install.
I am curious if it has to do with installing the game under Program Files (x86) is the culprit. I am hoping that to not be the case as I would have to remove the current folder and change all the shortcuts...actually, that may not be such a difficult task, now reading my reply back before posting. So, I may try that and post the results.
