I purchased Sins of a Solar Empire PCDVD for Windows at Target. The game is installed and up to date, using Stardock Impulse.
When I try to launch the .exe either via the launcher or simply double clicking Sins of a Solar Empire.exe nothing happens. The process appears in the task manager, but no window appears and the game does not appear under the tasks.
I have installed and run this exact game successfully before reformatting my computer.
What's going on here? How can I make it launch?
Additional info:
Windows XP SP3
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.60GHz
1.50GB RAM
ATI All-In-Wonder X800XT
All drivers up to date.
