There are two things you should try, as stated avove. Put n the install disk and install DX 9 Codecs. This is a must and many people with DX 10, omitt this, but it IS required. If that does not fix the problem, run the .exe (icon) as administrator. If these don't work, you need to post more info. Do you see a load screen? Do you get any error messages? Any info will aid someone trying to help.
