I have a similar problem. On launch I get the following error:

My system:
Win XP SP3
E6600 Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
Nvidia 7900GS

PS
I have no problem with UT3, Witcher or Crysis, so my machine is not 'too weak'.

Never mind, I returned the game to the store (I got Spore instead).
I just don't understand why a game is released in a state like this. Games that need to be patched before you can even play are agrevating me to no end.
