Oh wow...
It was the DPI scaling this whole time.

I installed Steam and Amnesia and went to run it, but got really confused when it still didn't work. Then I realized that I never changed any windows settings on the HDD run, so I set the DPI scaling back to 100% and BLAMO, the game worked. It can handle 125%, but 150% is when you get a warning saying "Some items might not fit on the screen" and the game refuses to play at that point.

In full screen mode, the intro screens will play as long as I don't move the mouse. The instant I do, it freezes. In windowed mode, I can move the mouse and browse the main menu, but when I try to load a new game, it freezes.

When I lower the DPI scaling, it works just fine in both modes.

So is this a new issue?
