Unsolved recurring issue: Game won't start

[vdupuy]

I've been reading through the threads trying to find an answer to my problem, and found numerous people having the same issue, but no resolution. Here are the common factors:

- Game installs properly
- All seem to have the D2D downloaded version
- Game is activated successfully
- When we try to run the game, kb.exe goes in the processes in the task manager, uses about 25% of CPU for a while, but nothing happens, and eventually it stops.
- Not sure if everyone has similar config, but it seems the case: Vista 32, nVidia GeForce video card, well above required specs.

So I'm trying to get this thread to be a common one for people with this issue, and perhaps we can get common resolution? In my case:

DX9 is up-to-date, so are all my drivers. No other known issues with my system.

Cheers!
