CoD won't fully start up

[Kizko]

I think the problem must be that our games were bought off steam........
seems everyone so far has the steam version with this problem

Will have to get on to the steam forums and try gt them to look into it

steam version again.

I have however found somthing very strange.

I have this issue but if I minimise and re-enter the game then I can move my mouse cursor.

I can also adjust the camera view using Delete/End/Home keys

And I can change the game speed using [ ] keys.

Which is weird cause we havn't even made it to the menu yet :S

Its like its loading us straight into a game with no plane and no mission for some reason :S

EDIT: My friend had the exact same hardware setup as me and has purchased the game through steam but his runs fine. Only difference is hes on 64bit Windows 7 & im on 32bit Windows 7

I've tried the various troubleshooting suggestions from the Launcher.exe problem thread, and still no luck. It would be awesome if someone could shed some light on this - not being able to load at all is frustrating!

Thanks

I'm sooooo frustrated. Mine won't launch. It brings up the crosshairs and then says 'Launcher has stopped working'.
I've tried everything.
I know everyone gets cranky at me for going off but surely this can't be right. A company can't sell you something that is so poorly done with no 'direct' help to sort it out. What the hell do we do?

I forgot to post this here:

IF you bought the game off Steam as I did, you will need to:

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist

2) Try running the Direct X installer*. ( This was the problem for me, but I had tried running other installers in there too).

It worked for me. Note that I tried ALL installers in this folder, restarted, and it worked.

*look for the DXSETUP file.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me - you said you could get to the menu though, so our problems are probably different
