Can't play the game; freezes on startup

[SadPanda]

I deleted the Amnesia folder and tried everything again. The hpl.log file I've attached is my most recent attempt after I:

- disabled firewall and antivirus
- ended each process that you listed
- launched the game with default settings in fullscreen mode

This time, however, the screen got as far as the Frictional Games logo before freezing. This has never happened before.

Here is the hpl.log from doing the same exact thing, only launching the game in windowed mode, which gets me as far as the main menu.
